Sustainability is more than just a trend; it is the foundation of our future. With its 2030 Agenda, the United Nations has defined a total of 17 goals for sustainable development—the so-called Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals promote ecological, social, and economically sustainable development worldwide.
What many people don’t know is that lighting systems also play a key role in achieving these goals.
Light & Sign GmbH
develops energy-efficient, smart lighting solutions for businesses, outdoor advertising, gas stations, and facade design—and shows how technology and sustainability can go hand in hand.
Goal 3 – Good Health and Well-being
Light has a direct impact on our health and well-being. Whether at work, in public spaces, or in stores, flicker-free, glare-free light improves concentration, reduces the risk of accidents, and enhances quality of life. Light & Sign’s lighting concepts rely on biologically effective light colors that reduce stress and support natural biorhythms.
Goal 7 – Affordable and clean energy
LED technology is one of the most efficient lighting solutions and can reduce energy consumption by up to 80% compared to conventional lighting. Our systems combine energy-saving LED lights with intelligent control to achieve maximum efficiency, which lowers electricity costs and reduces CO₂ emissions in the long term.
Goal 8 – Decent work and economic growth
Modern lighting concepts improve working conditions, reduce health risks, and lower absenteeism. At the same time, as an innovation-oriented company, Light & Sign creates skilled jobs in the areas of LED technology, planning, sustainability, and installation—thus promoting regional value creation and fair working conditions.
Goal 9 – Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
The future of lighting is digital. Sensors, motion control, and automated dimming enable intelligent infrastructures. Our lighting solutions can be integrated directly into building automation and smart city systems—for greater efficiency, safety, and sustainability in urban areas. Further information about our

Goal 11 – Sustainable cities and communities
Sustainable lighting improves quality of life, safety, and building perception in cities. Light & Sign’s durable, low-maintenance systems help make cities more attractive and environmentally friendly in the evenings.
Goal 12 – Sustainable consumption and production
From material selection to manufacturing, Light & Sign pays attention to resource conservation, reparability, and reusability. Our products are modular in design and built to last, which reduces waste and optimizes material use throughout the entire product life cycle.
Goal 13 – Climate action
Every kilowatt hour saved counts: energy-efficient LED lighting significantly reduces CO₂ emissions—especially in large-scale lighting systems and advertising technology. Companies that convert to Light & Sign are thus making a concrete contribution to climate protection and the decarbonization of their processes.
Goal 14 – Life below water
Light pollution is a growing problem for marine ecosystems, especially near ports or rivers. Our systems use targeted light control, reduced blue light, and shielded luminaires to minimize negative effects on aquatic life.
Goal 15 – Life on Land
Artificial light also affects nature on land. Insects, birds, and nocturnal animals are disturbed by inappropriate lighting. With warm white LEDs, time-controlled dimming, and ecologically coordinated design, Light & Sign ensures that lighting is both nature-friendly and functional—contributing to species protection and biodiversity.
Conclusion: Sustainable lighting technology as the key to the future
The United Nations’ goals are ambitious—and achievable with intelligent lighting technology. Whether in Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony, or throughout Germany:
Light & Sign helps companies not only to become visible, but also to take responsibility. Modern lighting systems are much more than just illumination—they are tools for sustainability, cost reduction, and future viability.
