Green Lighting
Philips' position as the world's leader in lighting results from its sensitivity to the needs of the marketplace. Philips has always been recognized as the world leader in technical innovation. Today, Philips has become the accepted expert in the field of lighting and lighting equipment applications in line with user needs.

The result is a continuous stream of revolutionary lighting products, each specifically designed to meet the current needs of the market and to be as efficient as possible. Product development begins with a programme aimed not only at meeting strict environmental production standards, but also to take into account the impact a product will have on the environment over its whole life cycle and beyond.

Two principles of the Philips Lighting environmental policy are applied at the production centres: Prevention of pollution at source and product design in line with EcoDesign rules.

For environmentally conscious customers

The vast majority of users of Philips Lighting products are looking for high quality, energy-efficient lighting solutions with low cost of ownership. Environmentally conscious customers are therefore best served with quality products designed according to EcoDesign principles. To best meet the needs of our customers, Philips Lighting focuses, within EcoDesign, on six areas to improve the environmental performance of products:

  • Energy Consumption
  • Service life
  • Hazardous substances content
  • Amount of packaging materials used
  • Product weight
  • Recycling potential
