Lighting
In 2012 Philips introduced the next generation shop
accent lighting, namely CDM Evolution. The Evolution
lamp is 10% more-energy efficient than its predecessor
(CDM Elite). A Philips MASTERColour Evolution lamp is
now on average 30% more energy-efficient than a CDM
standard lamp introduced in 1994, and 10-20% more
energy-efficient that the average competition. The
Evolution lamp is also much longer-lasting. In the past
average lifetime was around 12,000 hours. The Evolution
range extends lifetime beyond 20,000 hours, almost
halving the need for lamp replacement and therefore
helping to reduce waste levels.
5.3.3 Green Operations
The Green Operations program focuses on the main
contributors to climate change, recycling of waste,
reduction of water consumption and reduction of
emissions of restricted and hazardous substances.
Full details, can be found in chapter 14, Sustainability
statements, of this Annual Report.
Carbon footprint and energy efficiency
In 2012, we achieved our EcoVision4 carbon reduction
target as our operational CO2 emissions decreased 25%
compared to 2007, the baseline year. We were able to
achieve this significant reduction for a number of reasons,
including our ongoing energy efficiency improvement
program, Green logistics, our changing industrial
footprint, and the increase in purchased electricity from
renewable sources. These were, however, partly offset by
increased CO2 emissions from manufacturing (+1%
compared to 2011), due to a significant increase in
reporting sites (acquisitions).
In 2012, CO2 emissions from non-industrial sites
decreased 9%, 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.
Due to a stringent travel policy, total emissions from
business travel decreased 15% in 2012. We continue to
promote video conferencing as an alternative to travel; as
a result air travel is down 24%, saving a total of 38
kilotonnes CO2 emissions. In 2012, logistics CO2
emissions decreased 17%, because of the exclusion of the
logistic movements related to the TV business, our
continued focus on efficient container utilization, reduced
mileage in road freight, and the shift from air to sea freight,
which is cleaner and more cost-effective.
Our operational energy efficiency improved 7%, from 1.24
terajoules per million euro sales in 2011 to 1.15 terajoules
per million euro sales in 2012 as a result of a lower carbon
footprint and higher sales.

Water
Total water intake in 2012 was 4.9 million m3, about 12%
higher than in 2011. This increase was mainly due to new
acquisitions that started to report in 2012, which
accounted for 11% of group water consumption in 2012
as well as increased water use at Lighting Lumileds sites.
At Consumer Lifestyle the total water consumption went
down by 10%, partially due to the divestment of Television
activities.
