At Aestivo, sustainability sits at the centre of how we work. It guides how we ship, how we choose our partners, and how we support designers day to day.

Our aim is straightforward, keep our impact low while offering high quality lighting from manufacturers who share the same values.

Sustainability

Plastic-free packaging

Wherever possible, we use plastic-free, recyclable or compostable packaging. We also reuse materials in our warehouse to cut down waste even further.

Sample loan library

To avoid unnecessary production, we run a project sample lending service. Designers can borrow fittings, test them on site, then return them. It reduces over-ordering and keeps materials out of landfill.

Shipping with lower impact

Every order goes out with DHL Green as standard, which offsets delivery emissions. We also encourage slow, consolidated shipping so we keep transport to a minimum and reduce our freight footprint.

How We Work Sustainably

Energy-efficient lighting support

We help clients select fittings that offer long life, LED efficiency and modular construction. This means lower energy use and fewer products being replaced over time.

Working Towards B Corp

We’re actively working towards B Corp certification. This involves improving how we operate across governance, staff wellbeing, environmental tracking, responsible customer support and supplier selection. It’s shaping how we make long-term decisions, from the brands we bring on to how we manage the business each day.

Travel with intent

For meetings and site visits, we choose public transport when possible. It keeps our day-to-day carbon footprint low.

How Our Brands Fit In

We choose manufacturers with a long-term view on sustainability. While each brand has its own method, they share the principles that matter to us:

Longevity through well-built fittings

Recyclable and durable materials

Modular and repairable designs

Reduced waste and minimal plastic

Efficient LED technology

Thoughtful, low-impact production

By working with brands that follow these values, we help designers choose lighting that performs well, lasts longer and supports a circular economy by keeping environmental impact low across the product’s life cycle.

Our Commitment

We’ll keep refining our process, improving how we track our impact and building strong partnerships with brands that care about the same things we do.

Sustainability isn’t a final target, it’s an ongoing shift in how we operate, from the moment a fitting is selected to the moment it reaches your project.
