Operational carbon footprint
CO2 emissions decreased at Healthcare due to
increased use of electricity generated by renewable
sources.
At Consumer Lifestyle, CO2 emissions increased slightly
due to a decrease in the use of electricity generated by
renewable sources. Lighting decreased its CO2
emissions due to lower load of energy-intensive
activities and organizational changes.

Restricted substances
Emissions of restricted substances totaled 26 kilos in
2015. Mercury, only used in Lighting, accounted for 8
kilos of emissions in this category. With the Green
Operations program we continue to focus on a
reduction of a selection of the most important
substances in our processes. The Lumileds and
Automotive operations did not have emissions of
restricted substances.

Benzene
Benzene was used by one site in China in a thinner and
will be phased out in 2016.
Mercury
Mercury emissions in Lighting remained stable at 8 kilos
in 2015 and 2014. As a result of changes in the
manufacturing process, for the third year in a row,
Lighting’s mercury emissions were at the ‘as low as
reasonably achievable’ level, according to our
assessment.
CFCs/HCFCs
In 2015, total emissions from CFCs/HCFCs remained at
very low levels, at less than 1 kg.
Hazardous substances
As described above, reduction targets have been set on
a selected number of hazardous substances in our
Green Operations program. In the following section our
results are described. The Lumileds and Automotive
data was excluded from the overview. Emissions from
PFCs are material for a Lumileds site in Asia.

1) Excluding cooling systems
Lead and lead compounds
The consumption of lead and lead compounds went
down signicantly (by 41%) in Lighting production due
to portfolio changes, which resulted in lower emissions
in 2015, 6 kilos compared to 8 kilos in 2014.
PFCs
PFCs were only used in Lumileds sites. Emissions by
Lumileds amounted to 4,174 kilos in 2015, a 23%
increase compared to 2014.
Toluene
The emission of toluene remained at the same level as
2014, mainly reported in Lighting. In Lighting, toluene is
no longer used as a basic carrier in solvents and
lacquers. The latter process has been gradually
replaced by powder coating processes, resulting in
decreased emissions compared to the start of the
Green Operations program.
Xylene
Xylene emissions decreased by 13% due to lower
production of products where these specic lacquers
and thinners are used at Consumer Lifestyle.
