The Forest
Philips has adopted ambitious goals to help mitigate climate change through the responsible use of energy and materials, and so leave a healthier planet for future generations. As a leading health technology company, it is our purpose to improve people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation. We aim to improve 2.5 billion lives, each year, by 2030. In MR, we are consciously developing solutions mindfully sourcing and effectively using safe materials. We pursue sustainability in all aspects of product creation by avoiding the use of hazardous substances, and reducing the use of scarce resources, materials, and packaging in our products – all to help reduce our environmental impact and carbon footprint.
Impact
The trees we plant have big ambitions: to bring benefits not only to the environment, but also to the people who live in it. That's why we work with NGOs and local communities to select the right tree for the right place and the right purpose. That’s why we think about the medium and long term, because we’re not content with simply planting trees: we want to see them grow.
The trees in the forest will absorb:
