For Olivier MASCHINO, President of CLAREO: “Over the past 10 years, we have witnessed a turning point in the world of lighting. The energy crisis, the environmental context and new user expectations have pushed us to implement new solutions (express delivery, Smart Lighting solution, launch of a designer range, etc.). Thanks to a cocktail of strengths, CLAREO continues to outperform the LED lighting market in France, with double-digit growth each year, even during the various crises. CLAREO's mission for the years to come is truly to support companies in France, but also in Europe, in their energy sobriety plan. »

CLAREO, a solution for energy sobriety

In October 2022, the French government presented its energy sobriety plan with the particular objective of a 10% reduction in energy consumption by 2024 and 40% by 2050.

Furthermore, in France, 80% of business lighting systems are energy-intensive and obsolete*.

Thus, CLAREO supports professionals on a daily basis by offering products with high light output and “intelligent” lighting solutions to very quickly reduce the energy consumption of buildings and therefore businesses.

In 2023, nearly 2 million “energy-efficient” CLAREO products will have been sold and installed.

In total, around 5.5 million French people are enlightened on a daily basis by CLAREO products.

CLAREO has also developed an “intelligent” lighting solution.

In the current context, energy savings are obviously an essential element in the renovation and construction of new buildings. Smart Lighting is the optimal solution to meet these challenges. CLAREO has developed the SENSOR solution, a complete range of products, enabling rapid energy savings of 45% (or more) (compared to a traditional LED lighting system).

• 43% increase in sales of our Smart Lighting products between 2021 and 2022
• 37% increase in sales of our Smart Lighting products between 2022 and 2023
• 245 projects carried out with Smart Lighting products since the start of 2023

CLAREO, an actor committed to the planet

At the very heart of its activity, CLAREO engages daily in a responsible approach and strives to limit the environmental impact of its activity as much as possible:

• Certification of all of our responsible actions; CLAREO has been the subject of an evaluation carried out by the independent organization EcoVadis: CLAREO is certified silver in 2023.
• Development of non-polluting lighting fixtures, since they are entirely made of recyclable components (aluminum, plastic, electronic components).
• Removal of plastic packaging from product packaging, i.e. more than 2 million plastic packaging removed in 2023.
• Repairability of luminaires: 90% of CLAREO luminaires are repairable.
