Innovation

Working with Bukos, you might notice they do business a little differently. When you call a supplier, they drop off what you need. When you call Bukos, they take the time to understand why you need it and collaborate on finding the ideal solution for your unique business needs.

Bukos uses only the newest and most efficient LED lighting products on the market because they offer the greatest efficiency and energy savings. USA made products backed by DLC certifications ensure reliability and longevity. Their highly customizable fixtures ensure that whatever the application, they can match the solution to the customer's environment.

Their service extends beyond delivering the product; they provide businesses with customized solutions, communicate with the government to get businesses financial refunds for switching to LED lighting, provide an energy savings analysis, and spread awareness of the impact and importance of being part of the sustainability movement.

Inspiration

"Before we pursued this business, we were skeptical. We were not sure exactly how it could fit into the bigger picture. A client asked us, exactly how efficient are these LED lights? So we looked into it. [one] specific project in question involved replacing 33, 1000 Watt conventional fixtures with 18, top quality 400 Watt LED fixtures. The numbers we gathered were jaw dropping."

Overall impact

Corporate social responsibility IS the corporate purpose. Rarely is there a business model whose success is dependent on fulfilling the triple bottom line - influencing positive social impact, whether it be with clients or the community; contributing to an initiative that helps reduce energy consumption; and fostering business prosperity for all parties involved.

Business benefit

The impact on the business was beyond economic growth. The majority of growth was personal and reflective. All of us that are contributing are constantly learning how to better conduct business with each other, our clients, partners, supplies, but also out community. The business has increased awareness of how interconnected our society really is. This realization has led Bukos to put a conscious effort in conducting business in a responsible way.

Social and environmental benefit

Society benefits from better lighting. Clients express that they feel more safe walking to their cars late at night, that the buildings look cleaner and better kept when the lights look good. People working in any environment – offices, manufacturing, outdoors – feel a difference in the way operations run. When you spend 20% - 30% of your life at work, the lighting really impacts comfort. The environment - potentially the world's greatest stakeholder - can feel the difference. LED lighting has the potential to reduce energy consumption on lighting by 80%! As technologies advance and awareness grows, we can expect efficient lighting to be a leading effort in reducing global energy consumption.
