SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability

Orion is dedicated to a sustainable future and treating its members and customers with dignity, all while ensuring fair and responsible practices.

Environmental

Our forward-thinkers are devoted to innovation in LED lighting and energy reduction — not just for cost savings, but also a positive environmental impact.

At Orion, we pursue UL certification to help ensure our products meet trusted industry standards for safety, quality, and performance. That means dependable solutions designed to deliver confidence from installation through years of operation.

We also boast a large portfolio of DLC-listed products — meaning they’re remarkable for high performance and energy conservation, and are rebate eligible.

Practicing What We Preach is a Key Element of Our Business

Materials for our own facilities are sourced locally or regionally, reducing the need for global transportation. We even generate our own electricity from our onsite 50kW wind turbine, which is complemented by the solar panels on our facility rooftop.

Social

Our members, customers, partners, and everyone who lives on this planet — we owe it to them all to provide products, relationships, and environments that promote well-being.

A safe and respectful working atmosphere for our members is essential. We advocate for a healthy work-life balance and caring responses to crises — like the COVID-19 pandemic — making our members’ and customers’ safety our top priority. 

Giving back is another priority for Orion, as we encourage our members to volunteer for worthy charitable causes and campaigns, such as United Way and aid to Ukraine.

Governance

50%

OF ORION'S OUTSIDE DIRECTORS ARE WOMEN

The Board of Directors of Orion Energy Systems sets high standards for the company's members, officers, and directors. Numerous principles have been developed and expectations set, all with responsibilities to shareholders in mind.

  • Representing a wide range of perspectives, experience, and knowledge among Orion’s directors
  • Encouraging communication between shareholders and Orion’s directors
  • Strict adherence to Orion’s Code of Conduct

Orion’s CEO takes responsibility for reviewing the company’s core values and ethics with management and members on a regular basis while serving as a liaison with the Board of Directors.
