Sustainability
Since Lorad was founded in 1998, our goal has been to manufacture and develop the cutting-edge inorganic materials necessary to build the innovations for a brighter tomorrow.
Our vision on sustainability is that:
In each of our actions, we seek to ensure that we are contributing positively to the long-term future of our employees, our local and global community, and our shared environment.
To implement this vision, we focus on sustainable manufacturing practices and improving resource efficiency through continually evaluating our products and manufacturing capabilities with a focus on environmental conscientiousness.
Lorad creates innovative products that build a brighter future
Lorad is proud that our legacy of innovation has materially contributed to the day-to-day innovations that move our global community towards a greener and brighter future.
We create materials that drive the research at universities and government research laboratories around the world to enhance the properties of existing products and bring brand new green solutions to the marketplace.
Our cutting-edge materials can be found in:
Next-generation batteries that power the electric vehicles, medical devices, and other technologies we rely on. Our battery materials make these essential green products safer, more durable and efficient, with longer discharge times and quicker charge times.
Cutting-edge LEDs, screens, & displays enhanced with the complex security, imaging screen, and radiation detection phosphors made here at Lorad allow the devices we rely on to be brighter, more energy efficient, sharper, and clearer than ever before.
Solar panels, sensors, and cameras incorporating the optical coatings made at Lorad allow more efficient solar energy conversion than ever and create better sensors and sharper cameras for the products of the 21st century.
Lorad strives for sustainable growth
Build a supply chain that prioritizes environmental stewardship.
Manufacture our innovative products efficiently with an eye on waste reduction and conservation of resources.
Work with our customers to drive the green solutions of the 21st century.
As part of our commitment to running a sustainable company, Lorad’s management has established policies that promote a culture of environmental stewardship, which we incorporate into every decision we make. We are committed to being good neighbors both in our local community and as a part of the global community. As part of that commitment we:
- Strive to operate our facilities in a way that meets or exceeds the requirements of applicable laws and regulations and prevents any adverse environmental impacts.
- Implemented internal policies to promote waste reduction, conservation of natural resources, and energy efficiency in our operations.
- Aim to continuously improve our manufacturing processes’ efficiency with the goal of recycling or eliminating byproducts to minimize our overall environmental footprint.
- Work to encourage a company culture of environmental conscientiousness.
- Promote environmental awareness and advocate for positive changes in laws and regulations that center science-backed approaches to tackling our most pressing environmental concerns.
- Seek to develop supply chain partnerships with companies that share our commitment to environmental stewardship.
Further, as part of Lorad’s commitment to both environmental stewardship and respect for human rights globally, we have implemented a Conflict Mineral Sourcing Policy to ensuring that our operations and supply chain are accountable in the sourcing of precursor materials.
