Annual Report 2011 53
Operational carbon footprint and energy efficiency
In 2011, we took another step towards reaching our
target of 25% CO2 reduction by 2012, as operational CO2
emissions decreased 4%. CO2 emissions from
manufacturing decreased 8% due to a number of reasons,
including our ongoing energy efficiency program, the
changing industrial footprint and the increase in purchased
electricity from renewable sources. CO2 emissions from
non-industrial sites decreased 2%, partly because of our
continued focus on the most efficient use of facility space,
for instance with our Work Place Innovation program
(which enables flex-working), but also due to the
increased share of purchased electricity from renewable
sources.
As a result of our green lease car policy, our lease car fleet
continues to become more CO2 efficient. Consequently,
the average CO2 per kilometer further decreased 8%
compared to last year. Total emissions from business
travel increased, however, due to a higher number of
airplane travel movements. We continue to promote
video conferencing as an alternative to travel. CO2
emissions from logistics decreased 2%, because of our
continued focus on efficient container utilization, reducing
mileage in road freight, and the shift from air to sea freight,
which is cleaner and more cost effective.
Our operational energy efficiency improved 4%, from 1.29
terajoules per million euro sales in 2010 to 1.24 terajoules
per million euro sales in 2011.

Carbon emissions in our Supply Chain
In 2011, we also performed a study to quantify the CO2
emissions of our total supply chain which allows us to
target our carbon reduction actions. Total emissions in
the supply chain were estimated at 5.6 million tons.

5.4.2 Green Manufacturing 2015
We developed our Green Manufacturing 2015 program
in 2010 as we wanted to continue our efforts to improve
our environmental performance in manufacturing. The
program focuses on most contributors to climate change,
recycling of waste, reduction of water consumption and
reduction of restricted and hazardous substances.
Full details, including our 2015 targets, can be found in
chapter 14, Sustainability statements, of this Annual
Report.
5.4.3 Social performance
Employee engagement
In 2011, 87% of our employees took part in the
Engagement Survey. The Employee Engagement Index –
the single measure of the overall level of employee
engagement at Philips – reached 76%, marking a 1 point
decrease. The target for 2011 was to maintain the EEI at
the external high-performance benchmark level of 77%.

Equally important is the insight we gained into ways in
which we can improve. For 2012, the focus will be put on
improving the engagement level within customer facing
functions and in the area of confidence and trust.
