Sustainable development is a long way to go, PHILPS lighting has "ambition"

"2016 is the warmest year, global land and ocean temperatures hit a record high, more than 1981 to 2010 years of high temperature of 0.45 DEG C to 0.56 DEG C, and greenhouse gas emissions increase is also breaking the previous data, the annual average atmospheric CO2 concentration reached 402.9ppm, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA and the American Meteorological Society) released in August 2016" climate "report.

The number of data the earth's annual "medical report" in the show, our environment is getting worse and worse, global warming has intensified.

The long-term goal of "Paris agreement" is to ensure that the global average temperature compared with the pre industrial levels increased control at 2 degrees Celsius, and the temperature control in 1.5 degrees Celsius "effort". In addition, the climate group (The Climate Group) to join the industry in the world influential enterprises initiated a series of actions, including RE100 (renewable electricity), EP100 (energy LED Actions (double yield), LED scale upgrade) and EV100 (electric vehicle), to achieve sustainable development and play a positive role to cope with climate change.

As a leader in the field of energy-saving lighting, PHILPS lighting seems to have long been the energy and environment crisis consciousness, in the aspect of sustainable development has been advocating and practicing status.

In coastal areas, PHILPS lighting will be PHILPS LumiMotion human motion sensor with the operation of ClearSky lighting technology. The lighting system is not detected in human activities, automatically dimming the lights to light the dark moonlight, so as to protect the environment, alleviate the adverse effects of herbivores and artificial light birds, migratory birds.

Until now, PHILPS lighting plan sustainable development smoothly, the result is to obtain the full affirmation, not only won the "2017 Shanghai enterprise sustainable Impact Award" and "2017 Shanghai enterprises sustainable action influence Award" two awards, also won the 2017 "leader of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index" industry with a score of 85.

PHILPS LIGHTING Global CEO Hong Anli (Eric Rondolat) once said, "we not only regard sustainable development as corporate responsibility is imperative global action. For us, the sustainable development is to improve the development of our approach fundamentally."
