44 Annual Report 2015
Water
Total water intake in 2015 was 2.7 million m3, about 12%
lower than in 2014. This decrease was mainly due to
lower production volumes at multiple Lighting sites
where water is used for cooling purposes, operational
changes and water-saving actions at various sites.
Lighting represents around 64% of total water usage. In
this sector, water is used in manufacturing as well as for
domestic purposes. The other sectors use water mainly
for domestic purposes. The exclusion of Lumileds and
Automotive has a signicant downward impact on the
water consumption of Philips. In 2015, Lumileds and
Automotive accounted for 1.7 million m3 of water.

In 2015, total waste decreased by some 9% compared
to 2014 to 68.5 kilotonnes, mainly due to operational
changes, lower production volumes and less packing
waste at Lighting sites. Lighting contributed 66% of
total waste, Consumer Lifestyle 17% and Healthcare
17%. The exclusion of Lumileds and Automotive had a
9% downward impact on total waste.

Total waste consists of waste that is delivered for
landll, incineration or recycling. Materials delivered for
recycling via an external contractor comprised 57
kilotonnes, which equals 83% of total waste, an
improvement compared to 80% in 2014, as our
manufacturing sites continued their recycling programs.
Of the 17% remaining waste, 72% comprised non-
hazardous waste and 28% hazardous waste; 8.2
kilotonnes of waste was sent to landll.

Emissions
Emissions of restricted substances totaled 26 kilos in
2015, mainly caused by one site in China reporting a
thinner containing benzene. For the third year in a row,
mercury emissions at Lighting were as low as
reasonably achievable, according to our assessment.
The level of emissions of hazardous substances
decreased from 28,310 kilos to 25,101 kilos (-11%), driven
by a reduction in xylene emissions at Consumer
Lifestyle, due to lower production of products where
these specic lacquers and thinners are used as well as
