4.3.7 Operational energy efficiency
CO2 emissions dropped 10% in 2009, due to the
economic downturn, but also to our ongoing CO2
reduction programs. CO2 emissions from manufacturing
decreased 6% due to lower volumes and improved energy
efficiency. The effects of some of these improvement
programs will become more visible when production
volumes pick up as most industrial activities require a so-
called base load independent of volumes. (A glass furnace,
for example, requires a minimum amount of energy, even
if not fully used.)
As we employed fewer staff, CO2 emissions from non-
industrial sites (offices, warehouses, laboratories, etc.)
were 12% less than 2008.
We purchased 15% of electricity from renewable sources.
As a result of our ongoing promotion of
videoconferencing and our green lease car policy, CO2
emissions from business travel further decreased by 17%.
CO2 emissions from logistics decreased 14% as a result of
lower volumes, as well as a number of CO2 reduction
measures including a continued shift from air to sea freight
and further improved container utilization.

4.3.8 Social performance
Employee engagement
In 2009, 91% of our employees took the Philips
Engagement Survey. The Employee Engagement Index –
the single measure of the overall level of employee
engagement at Philips – decreased slightly to 68% in 2009,
from 69% in the previous year. Overall our engagement
levels remained high during difficult economic
circumstances. The target for 2010 is to reach the high-
performance score of 70%.

Equally important is the insight we gained into ways we
can improve. We continue to place emphasis on
connecting all of our people with the long-term ambition
of Philips, supported by the solid results over 2009.
Diversity and inclusion
In 2009, 35% of the Philips workforce was female, while
17% of newly appointed executives were female,
illustrating our sharp focus on diversity and inclusion. Due
to an outflow of female executives, the total number
remained unchanged at 10%. Our ambition is to employ
15% female executives in 2012, a target the Healthcare
sector exceeded in 2009.
