Philips

Philips is a leading health technology company focused on improving people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation. It’s our ambition to positively impact 2 billion lives per year by 2025.

We are a leader in diagnostic imaging, image-guided therapy, patient monitoring, and health informatics, as well as in consumer health and home care. We leverage advanced technology and deep clinical and consumer insights to deliver integrated solutions and enable better outcomes across the health continuum – from healthy living and prevention, to diagnosis, treatment, and home care.

A growing and aging global population, urbanisation, and rise of chronic diseases are putting health systems under enormous pressure. At the same time, the world’s healthcare systems account for 4% of global CO2 emissions; that’s more than aviation or shipping. This combined burden is creating an urgent and immediate need to review existing models of care delivery and find sustainable solutions that meet clinical, operational and financial concerns, while providing patient value.

As a purpose-driven company, we are very conscious of our responsibility towards society and of the need to continue to embed sustainability ever deeper in the way we do business – in our own operations and beyond, together with our partners. We have set ourselves some ambitious environmental targets, aimed at driving climate action and reducing CO₂ emissions in line with a 1.5 °C global warming scenario. And we are adopting innovative business models, focused on circular economy principles – dematerialising, and maximising the lifetime value of our products and solutions.
