 Our global goals
As part of our continuing commitment to the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we are taking action
on four SDGs that link directly to our vision to create brighter
lives and a better world.

 Circular economy
rapidly emerging
Make
Future proof products

For a sustainable world, the

transition from a linear to a
circular economy is essential.
A circular economy aims to
decouple economic growth from
the use of natural resources by Return
using resources more effectively. Use
Products Light without
for repurpose owning it

14
What does this mean for the lighting business?

Use, not ownership, is the key element – you no longer need to purchase
products that provide light, but rather only buy the light itself.

Building on this principle, the business model of Light as a Service (LaaS) is rapidly
emerging. The core concept of the model is that lighting installations no longer
require upfront investments, and the user only pays for the lighting used and
doesn’t purchase the equipment. This model offers the benefits of increased
savings due to the lack of investment, hassle-free operations and maintenance
due to the lack of ownership, and financing.

Looking at the current lighting industry in Western Europe, only 10% of discarded
luminaires are officially collected and registered. Circular lighting, a concept taking
the LaaS model further, can offer a solution to this, and increase the amount of
lighting equipment collected, repurposed, and put back into circulation.

Our achievements
Global Lighting Challenge
Between 2015 and mid 2017, we delivered one billion LED lamps and luminaires
as part of our commitment to the Global Lighting Challenge, the Clean Energy
Ministerial campaign to improve energy efficiency around the world.

We are the first company to reach this milestone, which marks the latest progress
in the global transition to energy-efficient lighting, a vital measure in slowing
climate change.

We are on track to meet our commitment of two billion LED lamps and luminaires
ahead of the 2020 target.

When compared to the outdated lighting sources these LEDs replaced, the energy
savings achieved are equivalent to the energy generated by 30 medium-sized
coal-fired power stations. The CO₂ reductions achieved are equivalent to the
annual emissions produced by 12 million cars.

Signify Foundation
In a world where more than one billion people have no reliable access to power,
electric light is a distant dream for many.

The Signify Foundation is committed to ending this imbalance. The mission of

the foundation is to enable sustainable access to light in underserved communities.
Our projects promote the use of lighting systems based on clean technology
and address the entire spectrum of lighting needs in a community.

Working with NGOs, social enterprises and communities around the world, we’re
bringing electric light to places where it is needed the most. And by sharing our
expertise in lighting and accelerating the adoption of energy-efficient lighting,
we’re helping to protect the environment for everyone.

Brighter lives for off-grid
communities
Light is a fundamental part of our lives. With the flick of a switch, it transforms
darkness into places where people can work, learn, and create.

As a founder and active member of organizations such as the global association for
the off-grid solar energy industry (GOGLA) and International Solar Alliance (ISA),
we are committed to delivering innovations that enable off-grid communities to
access safe, renewable lighting after dark. We do this by making our latest solar
indoor and outdoor lighting systems accessible to people. With this technology,
social and business life no longer has to stop when the sun goes down.

We lit the lives of over
46,000 Rohingya families
Together with BRAC, one of the world’s leading non-governmental organizations,
we distributed over 46,000 Philips solar lanterns to Rohingya families in Bangladesh.

Previously the camps had been pitch black at night, making basic activities almost
impossible. The shelters desperately needed lighting to increase security and
support basic needs.

With the new solar lanterns we improved the living conditions in the refugees’
makeshift shelters and especially improve the safety and security of women
and children at night.

Delivering value
beyond illumination

25
 Going beyond
illumination
We are leading the ongoing development of connected lighting systems and
services. By leveraging the Internet of Things, we are transforming buildings,
urban places, and homes. We increase energy efficiency and manage working
environments in a more environmentally friendly way.

We make cities safer and more responsive. We offer rich lighting experiences
that make people feel safe, comfortable, focused, energized, and entertained.
That’s how we take light beyond illumination, and help improve the way the world
works and people live.

A connected lighting grid is a perfect foundation to make the world
a better place to live. In cities, for instance, connected LED lighting
can become an integral and future-proof smart city building block.
In addition to energy efficiency, cost savings, and reduced carbon
emissions, connected LED lighting can:

We are improving the quality of city services through our partnership
with the World Council on City Data (WCCD), WCCD is a network of
62 cities around the world committed to improving services and quality
of life with open city data and comprehensive standardized urban metrics.

32
Improved lighting conditions have proven
to deliver significant benefits

Improved public safety/reduced crime rates

Areas with improved street lighting experienced a 21% reduction in crime
relative to areas with no street lighting improvements.

Improved traffic/pedestrian safety

A literature review of studies concluded that: “…on urban main roads,
a reduction in accidents involving injuries of approximately 30% can be expected
at night following an improvement in the lighting from very bad to good.”

Guadalajara,
Spain
By using LED luminaires connected to Interact City Lighting asset management
software, Guadalajara has achieved a 69% increase in energy savings.
That’s an annual reduction of 4,188.81 tons of CO2, or the equivalent of
107,405 trees (according to the EPA’s greenhouse gas equivalencies calculator).

Remote light management software gives managers a map-based view of the

city’s lighting assets and workflows so that maintenance crews can be efficiently
scheduled to resolve any issues. The percentage of failure complaints from
citizens has decreased to less than 0.1% per year.

The city now has a cost-efficient solution using the existing lighting infrastructure
which, via its open APIs, also future-proofs the city for new IoT innovations.

37
38
The Bay Bridge,
United States
Recently named by USA Today as one of the top ten places to immerse yourself
in digital art, The Bay Bridge lighting installation, already seen by over 50 million
people and estimated to boost regional economy by $100 million annually,
has transformed the San Francisco Bay area.

The new system was specifically engineered to withstand harsh weather

environments. The permanent installation also utilizes Interact Landmark
Lighting asset management software to remotely control and monitor the
cloud-based connected lighting system, ensuring that this iconic landmark’s
lighting is always operating at peak performance.

39
40
The Edge,
the Netherlands
At The Edge, connected lighting and Interact Office Lighting management software
help create a more comfortable, productive, and sustainable office space.

The system uses nearly 6,500 connected LED luminaires to create a digital lighting
infrastructure throughout the building’s 15 stories.

Installing Interact Office has resulted in an annual reduction of €100,000 in energy

costs and an impressive €3.6 million savings in space utilization. Almost 1,000 more
staff now work in this smart connected space than was originally intended, making
The Edge Deloitte’s least expensive office globally as well as its most popular - with
the firm receiving four times more applications than before.

aswaaq,
United Arab Emirates
As one of Dubai’s leading supermarket chains, aswaaq wanted to increase brand
loyalty and improve customer service by providing a more personalized and
convenient shopping experience for its customers.

Using Interact Retail Indoor navigation, aswaaq created a state-of-the art

shopping experience. It uses VLC technology embedded in the LED luminaires
that enables reliable and hyper-accurate location-based services over shopper
smartphones via the store’s app.

Indoor navigation enables aswaaq to deliver personalized customer experiences,

such as wayfinding, special offers and recipes, while collecting valuable anonymous
data on shopper behavior.

44
Optus Stadium,
Australia
In 2012, the Government of Western Australia set a goal to create a multipurpose
facility that delivered a unique experience for fans and the wider Perth community.
They needed a venue that could be used 365 days of the year. The government
wanted a fully IoT-enabled stadium with cutting edge technologies in order to
attract domestic and international events.

The lighting, which is managed by Interact Sports Lighting management software,

has the flexibility to create a multi-purpose arena, which is ready to host different
types of events such as football, cricket matches or music concerts. Music and
lighting can be merged together in advance by the lighting operator for seamless
implementation, creating visually stunning pre-match light shows. In addition,
the LED floodlights meet the requirements for HDTV broadcasting standards
for sports lighting.
45
46
Puerto de la Cruz,
Spain
The Canary Islands have the clearest skies in Europe and are therefore home to
several renowned observatories. The quality of the sky is even protected by Spanish
law, which requires municipalities to take measures to mitigate light pollution.

To this end, we installed a system that uses a dedicated light recipe, applying optics
that reduce light spillage and also filter the blue part of the light spectrum, which
could interfere with nearby observatories. The new light points are also wirelessly
connected to our Interact City lighting system and management software so that
they can be dimmed or turned up remotely. By using these features, municipalities
can ensure that light is only used when and where it is required.

Lighting up the Legacy
of the Beast
Packing arenas during its Legacy of the Beast tour, the iconic heavy metal
band Iron Maiden opted for lighting that really brought the beast alive. Using our
entertainment lighting innovations, lighting designer Robert Coleman could deliver
the heavy-duty punch the show required. The lighting perfectly communicated
the drama and tension in the vivid war, mysterious cathedral as well as Hell scenes.
“They’ve been hitting the back wall of the stadiums,” Coleman said.
“I have particularly enjoyed the strobe, especially when blasting the audience.”

Schiphol Airport,
the Netherlands
The project involved the installation of 3,700 LED fixtures, and resulted in a 50%
reduction in electricity consumption, opex payments with no upfront investment,
and fixtures optimized for the circular economy, performance, and recycling.

In association with architects Kossmann.dejong, we developed dedicated modular

lighting for Schiphol that will last 75% longer than conventional fixtures, as the
products were designed for:
• Upgradeability
• Ease of maintenance
• Easy serviceability
• Disassembly
• Recycling
