PODCAST: Night Sky and Nature

At the end of last year, the Zumtobel Group launched it's podcast series, 'Light Talks'.

The seven episodes that have been released so far are steered by issues that move not only us as lighting manufacturers, but those that have a broader interest to society.

The sessions feature international guests from various disciplines as well as experts from within the Zumtobel Group. I was delighted to be asked to contribute to this month's podcast and discussed nightsky and nature with? Patrick Lüth ,?Architect and Managing Director of world-renowned architectural practice, Sn?hetta .?

SUSTAINABILITY: Local litter pick

This month, colleagues from our Spennymoor facility joined in with a litter pick in the local area.?

Organised by Groundwork NE & Cumbria , it was an opportunity for the business the give back to the surrounding community which has played a big part in the site's history since the 1950s.

This activity also aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 'Sustainable Cities & Communities' which encompasses (amongst others) providing access to safe, inclusive green public spaces for women, children, people with disabilities and older people.

We're already looking forward to showing our support in the form of another litter pick later in summer!?
