Sustainable Photonics

Photonics has the potential to significantly contribute to a more sustainable world by supporting renewable energy, improving measurement and monitoring technologies, and reducing environmental impacts. At the same time, it is essential for photonics companies to integrate sustainable practices into their operations — not only to address climate change but also to promote community well-being, economic resilience, and long-term industry growth.

Our Workgroup is dedicated to inspiring and guiding both beginner and advanced member companies in adopting sustainability practices. We focus on broad sustainability factors, including environmental impact, social responsibility, and economic stability. Together, we aim to empower our industry to be more sustainable, creating innovative solutions that benefit society and the planet.
