Sustainability<br />

Sustainability is a key focus at <strong>Philips</strong>. We aim to minimize our ecological footprint, and<br />

this does not only apply to our products, production and purchasing, but also to our<br />

processes and the communities in which we operate. We use our expertise to simplify<br />

complex worldwide issues, such as the growing need for greater efficiency in energy<br />

consumption and healthcare, by developing sustainable solutions for consumers and<br />

professional users in all markets.<br />

All <strong>Philips</strong> products go through an EcoDesign process in which the consequences for the environment<br />

are considered in terms of energy consumption, hazardous substances, recycling, weight and lifetime.<br />

<strong>Philips</strong>’ environment-related procedures are audited by an independent party every year and the results<br />

are laid down in the annual sustainability report. <strong>Philips</strong> also stimulates education programs aimed at<br />

energy saving solutions. The company also strives to provide better healthcare at lower costs all over<br />

the world, including in such emerging markets as China and India.
