Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) announced today that it has made solid progress in its EcoVision program1 which sets sustainability performance targets for the end of 2015. Philips reported that its Green Product sales2 in 2011 now total 39% and are well on track to reach the target of 50% in 2015. The Healthcare sector achieved the highest Green Product nominal sales growth with 25%, while Lighting introduced over 4,000 new Green Products in 2011.
Jim Andrew, the recently appointed Chairman of the Sustainability Board and Philips’ Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer said: “Despite the challenging economic environment, sustainability continues to be an integral part of Philips’ strategy. In 2011 we invested EUR 479 million in Green Innovation3 dedicated to addressing global challenges related to care, materials and energy efficiency.”
“Our aim is to make the world healthier and more sustainable through innovation and we are pleased to report that in 2011, we already touched over 465 million lives4 mainly through the use of our Healthcare solutions,” Jim Andrew elaborated. In Healthcare Philips continued adding Green Products to its portfolio. For example, the wearable IntelliVue MX40 Patient Monitor, which helps clinicians to better manage patient alerts and uses 85% less power.
Efforts in Consumer Lifestyle focused on closing the materials loop through launching products such as the EcoCare steam iron, which is made from 30% recycled materials. Furthermore, our sustainability performance in 2011 led to us achieving super-sector leadership in the Personal and Household Goods category in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, as well as achieving the highest scores in the Carbon Disclosure Project.
