Better Together. For our future.
At PDL, we believe meaningful sustainability progress isn’t achieved in isolation. Whether you’re a sparky, wholesaler, builder or any role in the electrical industry, the small actions we each take, when adopted by thousands can transform the future we all share.
PDL is committed to enabling smarter, more sustainable choices across the electrical industry. A better tomorrow isn’t built alone, it’s built together. Learn more about the steps we’re taking towards sustainability and how you can be part of this journey.

Sustainable Packaging
More sustainable, and just as durable. PDL products are packaged with over 70% recycled cardboard. We’ve now expanded our sustainable packaging across Solis, Iconic Fully Assembled, lighting and more ranges to reduce single-use plastics. PDL will continue this momentum by launching all future products in sustainable packaging.
Aligned with Schneider Electric’s sustainability efforts, 35% of PDL products will be in sustainable packaging by 2027. Additionally, our packaging features QR codes to enhance the digital experience and reduce paper waste.
Recycled Materials
As demand for sustainable builds and greener manufacturing grows, the materials behind every switch, socket and enclosure matters more than ever. At PDL, we’re committed to converting 50% of virgin plastics to green material, a benchmark that reduces raw resources and supports a genuine circular economy.
Sustainability is increasingly becoming part of the spec, not an add-on. By choosing PDL, you’re equipped to meet evolving sustainability building requirements, satisfy environmentally conscious clients, and back every recommendation with transparent, verifiable data.
