By securing this certification for its professional lighting range, Crompton demonstrates its commitment to offering genuinely sustainable solutions for the building materials, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors.

We are proud to be the first lighting company in India to achieve a complete GreenPro Certified Solution Range. This recognition adds to our growing list of sustainability accolades, including the earlier certification for our ceiling fan model, and affirms our commitment to global sustainable development goals and responsible practices.
