4 Our planet, our partners, our people 4 - 4
Annual Report 2011 31
improved dialogue between management and workers.
The costs of the program are shared between the
supplier, its customer, and the IDH.
Effective partnering
In November 2011 we announced, together with South
African public utility Eskom, the largest energy-saving LED
lighting deal in Africa to date. Some 200,000 of our
MASTER LED lamps will be distributed at discounted
prices throughout South Africa’s hotels, banks, offices and
retail outlets. Because the 7 and 10 W LED lamps replace
50 W halogens, the annual CO2 reduction will be 60,000
tons. And all it takes is the simple replacement of a bulb!
In 2011 we were also praised, along with The Climate
Group, for our solar-driven LED street-lighting project in
China’s Guiyang community. The UN’s ‘Momentum for
Change’ event cited the project as a ‘best practice’
example of public-private partnership that enhances
people’s lives in poor rural communities, while spurring
green growth, saving energy and combating climate
change.
Also, for the second year running we worked with Oxfam
Novib and electrical distributor Sonepar on a special LED
promotion in Uganda on solar-lighting solutions to
stimulate education after dark. By using our simple, LED-
based solar lighting solutions, thousands of children in off-
grid areas can now do their homework in the evenings.
And communities in general can benefit from safe,
sustainable and clean lighting.
Multi-stakeholder engagement is
necessary to improve working
conditions in the supply chain – an
important contribution towards the
United Nations’ Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs).
We engage with our suppliers to
encourage them to share our
commitment to sustainability. This
includes sound environmental and
ethical standards as well as providing
working conditions for their
employees that reflect both the
Philips General Business Principles
and the Electronic Industry
Citizenship Coalition (EICC) Code of
Conduct.
We continue to focus on effective
partnering with non-governmental
organizations to support common
goals that also drive our business.
