Throughout my professional career, I have learned that sustainability is not just a nice concept or a trend, but a real, urgent need and , above all, a responsibility for all of us.
My professional experience has mostly been in the industrial sector and I can say that this sector has a central role to play in building a sustainable future. For a long time, large-scale production was associated with high resource consumption, pollutant emissions and environmental degradation. But today, more and more of us are waking up to the urgent need to review our practices.
At The Light Rebar Company® we believe that sustainability cannot be treated as an appendix to the strategic planning of organizations, but as one of its fundamental pillars. Adopting sustainable development practices does not mean giving up on profitability, but rather broadening our long-term vision to ensure that our operations respect the environment, value people and are economically viable, always with levels of excellence in all processes.
The journey of The Light Rebar Company® begins with an honest diagnosis of the business model, namely conduct, impact on climate change, pollution, noise, water resources, biodiversity, resource use and circular economy, as well as the identification and assessing risks and opportunities related to human capital, affected communities and end uses. The internal and external community is always and without exception a priority for us.
This plan defines the priorities of The Light Rebar Company®, with the aim of acting congruently and effectively on its mission. The company’s priorities focus on five strategic orientations:
– Human resources;
– Quality, environment and safety at work;
– Marketing & Communication;
– Commercial;
– Financial strength.
This objective aims to take measures to reduce energy consumption without compromising the performance or quality of our services. The Light Rebar Company® has therefore taken steps to choose equipment with low energy consumption, refurbish its infrastructure by installing LED lighting and making use of natural light, install renewable energy sources such as solar power, and purchase electric vehicles.
Using our product life cycle assessment, The Light Rebar Company® aims to identify opportunities to improve the environmental aspects of products at the different stages of their life cycle. This study, which began in July 2025, will enable us to make decisions and select environmental performance indicators that are relevant and appropriate to our needs. Finally, and crucially, it will result in an environmental product declaration – EPD, which will make it possible to mitigate the lack of generic information and compare products based on their environmental impacts.
At The Light Rebar Company® we understand that digital is a lever for sustainability in that it allows us to improve our performance as well as “Humanizing digital” which aims to build bridges between technology and the human experience, creating a more welcoming, connected and meaningful digital world for everyone, with people always at the top of the priorities.
Since its inception, The Light Rebar Company® has set itself the strategic goal of digitizing its processes, within the framework of Industry 4.0, for greater efficiency, productivity, cost reduction and replicability anywhere in the world.
In our company, we live and breathe a culture of excellence (definitely one of our main values), where we create a corporate, motivating and inspiring work environment, where the creation of new ideas and the constant search for knowledge and development allows our multidisciplinary teams to commit to the company’s objectives, focused on product quality and the needs and expectations of our stakeholders.
The Light Rebar Company® assumes and conducts its business ethically and responsibly, taking into account the social, environmental and economic impacts of its operations. We aim to go beyond legal commitments and create shared values for the company and society, through its product, fair labor practices, environmental management and transparency and economic performance.
This year, the company aims to report environmental, social and governance information in a structured way and in line with European requirements, in accordance with the Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standards for SMEs (VSME). Despite being a voluntary report, The Light Rebar Company® considers it the starting point for implementing a robust sustainability strategy in line with sustainable development.
We know that there is still a lot to do. Sustainability is a journey, not a destination. It’s a daily construction, made up of conscious choices, small changes and big strategic decisions.
At The Light Rebar Company® we believe that every company, regardless of its size.., can and must take an active role in transforming the world into a more balanced place. This is the vision that guides us: to lead with purpose, grow responsibly and leave a positive legacy.
