Our green story

Look for the Philips Green logo

We’re constantly working to improve our environmental performance and to help you make simple, informed choices about the products that you buy.

Our Green Products can reduce costs, energy consumption and CO2 emissions throughout the home. So next time you shop, look for the Philips Green logo. It tells you that the product you’re buying will have a significantly better environmental performance than its competitors or older models.

Our sustainability focus

We’re focused on improving the health and well-being of people and the communities they live in. That means striving to enhance the environmental performance of our products and driving sustainability throughout the supply chain.

From FlatTVs with dimming backlights to rechargeable batteries that last 20% longer between charges, we have products that can save you energy every day. Others use less packaging or are easy to take apart for recycling. It’s all about offering you a more sustainable choice.

Designed to deliver

For a product to be truly green, every phase of its development should be sustainable. To work towards this ideal, we introduced our EcoDesign procedures in 1994 and have been following them ever since.

We have a longstanding commitment to reducing the environmental impact of our products, and that includes the way they’re used and what happens to them at the end of their life cycle.

Six ways to make a greener product

Our Philips Green Products are called green for a reason. They help to reduce costs, energy consumption and CO2 emissions. In fact, we won’t call a product ‘Green’ unless it offers at least a 10% improvement in one or more of the Philips Green Focal Areas.

For example, many of our products deliver energy savings of up to 80%. Others are built from recycled material, or designed to be recycled at the end of their usable lives. And they’re all designed to deliver a lifetime of reliability.

Small changes. Big effects.

But it’s not just about making our products and processes more environmentally focused. How you choose to use them also has a lasting effect on their carbon footprint.

Even small things, like fitting energy saving light bulbs or not leaving products on standby mode, can have a big effect on your electricity bill and on the planet’s energy resources. Find out more about the changes you can make at asimpleswitch.com.
