Sustainability - Respect to environment

is a company committed to the environment, dedicated to the production and distribution of goods lighting technology and fiber optics led among others.

All our projects involve energy savings greater than those made with conventional lighting, derived from the dedication and consistent with the philosophy of the company, actively participates in a program at the international level, to plant trees in disadvantaged areas of Africa, in this way help to maintain the area and to CO2 emissions.

This first step, in 2008 has planted 50 trees in Senegal, the variety Acacia. You can see these trees through the following link:

50 trees are needed to absorb 1 tonne of CO2. This amount is equivalent to the emissions caused by a journey of 6,000 miles in a car environment, or those arising from the annual consumption of energy for heating and ACS (DHW) for a single-member house. (IPCC-Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).

Our goal is two-fold effect:

First is environmental, but also was linked with the humanitarian aid provided by the long term. The project will benefit local communities in terms of their welfare, education and practice of agricultura.Y that is not all…

The benefits of preventing desertification extend beyond the trees to other species of vegetation and wildlife. So any opportunity to reintroduce and / or help prevent species extinction path is an important part of our mission.

¿Why?

"Desertification is potentially change on ecosystems more threatening impacts on the livelihood of the poor "(United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification www.unccd.int). Desertification does not refer to the expansion of desert, but that tries to land degradation caused by climatic changes and human activities. True, we do! Planting your tree will help combat this process and regenerate land productivit.

¿How?

We cooperate with local communities, nurseries and organizations to ensure that we are creating the best environment for the growth and development of trees. We believe that an international experience, private investment and wisdom of the local community are key factors for a successful project.

Each tree is grown from seed and, before being planted, spend a minimum of 3 months in our nurseries. This allows the trees grow strong before being subjected to the harsh conditions of the plantation. Progresívamente trees are watered increasingly less to ensure that they are well adapted to the rugged terrain where they will be planted.

develops the necessary technology to illuminate without dazzling. The discovery and development of new materials, they allow us to take the LEDS as a fundamental axis of our projects. Likewise the optical fibber allows us to channel and to direct the light, moulding it to our taste and obtaining of her unthinkable applications until a few years ago. All our materials used are 100% recycled and have the same characteristic being respectable to the environment and low power consumption and minimum CO2 Emissions. We got a special ethic and social responsibility as a company. RSC. is a company certified in Quality management by the norm UNE-EN-ISO 9001:2000
