1. Sustainable revenues:

•     80% of revenues will come from sustainable products, systems and services
•     More than 2 billion LED lamps and luminaires delivered

2. Sustainable operations:

•     100% carbon neutral for operations
•     100% use of renewable electricity

As part of Signify’s leadership in energy efficiency measures it is committed to the World Green Building Council’s initiative to have all the buildings that it is using to be carbon neutral by 2030. In addition to that, Signify supports The Climate Group’s EV100 initiative to operate a 100% electric and hybrid lease fleet by 2030 and its RE100 initiative to scale up the use of renewable electricity.

Signify was named Industry Leader in the Electrical Components and Equipment category of the 2018 Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), receiving recognition for all the sustainability improvements it is making.

Signify became the new company name of Philips Lighting as of May 16, 2018. The legal name of Signify will be adopted in the US and Canada in early 2019.
