Sustainability

At Philips we are in the unique position to link our brand heritage to the challenge of improving the quality of peoples lives. This is what Philips has done since our founders started the company. For them there was no difference between doing business and sustainable business. Putting people and their society at the center was inherent to their way of doing business. You could say sustainability is in our DNA.

We have long been integrating economic prosperity, environmental quality and social equity.

Sustainability is built into our heritage, our values and our commitment to improve the quality of people's lives.

Building sustainable development into our business processes is the ultimate opportunity. Our journey to sustainability requires a breakthrough in thinking towards true innovation. It also calls for partnership, cooperation and open, honest dialogue with all stakeholders.

In this way we can improve the quality of life, with all of us around the world helping bring meaningful technology innovations to market at the right time. We can deliver true value by focusing on our strengths: lifestyle, healthcare and enabling technologies.

Sustainable development is a necessity and the right thing to do: it's also our way of doing business, an investment that creates value and secures our future.
