​The EcoLighthouse certification is part of NPA's overall ambition to become a “greener" organization, which NPA has also committed to in its new Climate and Environment Policy and in the new Global Strategy.

NPA has committed to the following goals as part of its membership in the EcoLighthouse initiative:

• Increase the number of environmentally certified suppliers from which NPA purchases goods and services through forthcoming new procurement requirements
• Maintain the 2018 levels of energy use in the office, and if possible, reduce it through focus on energy efficiency
• Maintain the 2019 levels of waste production (both sorted and non-sorted waste), and if possible, reduce these levels, including through installing a new food waste sorting system
• Reduce NPA's carbon emissions from air travel through improved oversight and coordination of travels
