Passion for light, solutions for life
Change is written into our DNA. OSRAM develops intelligent and sustainable products to help conserve resources worldwide and to improve the quality of life through light. Artificial lighting is responsible for around 20 % of worldwide power consumption. This means that highly energy-efficient lighting can save as much CO2 worldwide as can be absorbed by a forest twice the size of Italy. At present, more than 70 % of our turnover comes from energy-saving lighting solutions.
LED technology is already a crucial factor here. LED-based products now account for around 25 % of OSRAM’s total sales. OSRAM covers the entire LED value added chain, from components to light management solutions. And with around 8000 LED patents OSRAM has a considerable influence on the further development of LED technologies.
As a “pure light player”, OSRAM is a strong global brand, and as a leading innovator in all application and technology sectors it is shaping the digital future of the lighting industry.
