December 5, 2022

Acuity Brands, Inc. released its fourth annual EarthLIGHT Report on its Fiscal Year 2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) accomplishments, announcing its new ESG targets, and sharing progress on its ongoing initiatives. 

“Our businesses develop technology that can help save our customers energy and reduce their carbon emissions,” said Neil M. Ashe, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Acuity Brands. “I am proud of our Fiscal 2022 ESG results and pleased to share our progress in our EarthLIGHT report.” 

Additionally, Acuity announced its commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2040. To achieve Net Zero, Acuity plans to work with the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) to establish new interim targets to further reduce its Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions. 

“We are positioned at the intersection of sustainability and technology so that we can capitalize on two mega-trends — minimizing the impacts of climate change and maximizing the impacts of technology,” said Ashe. “Today, Acuity has also signed The Climate Pledge as part of our ambitious goal of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040. We expect that our progress will have many benefits for our associates, customers, and the communities in which we live and work.”
