Climate Change Strategy Details

Royal Philips Electronics continues to set new sustainability goals through its EcoVision environmental action program. EcoVision4 uses 2007 as its baseline year to set targets for 2012, including an operational energy efficiency improvement of 25% and a reduction in CO2 emissions by 25%. Furthermore, Royal Philips Electronics looks to double their investment in Green Innovations to a cumulative €1 by 2012.
