Climate and energy

The time to switch to energy-efficient lighting is now

The world is facing a rapidly warming climate and an energy crisis that is now truly global. Energy-efficient lighting has an important role to play in climate action initiatives for cities, businesses, and consumers.

“There has never been a more urgent need for efficient solutions that reduce the amount of energy we consume,” says Maurice Loosschilder, Head of Sustainability at Signify. “If we want to live in a carbon-neutral world in 2050, at least half of the change we need to make will come from reducing our energy consumption.”

Making the lighting industry a force for positive change

At Signify, we’re committed to working with our clients and our partners, whether they are corporations, governments, educational institutions, or consumers, to make the lighting industry a force for positive environmental change.

With our Brighter Lives, Better World 2025 program, we are taking specific, measurable actions to double our positive impact on the environment and society, using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as our strategic compass.
