Creating vision for the future, redefined today
Sustainable business. Bringing balance with circularity, environmental action and community service.
Leading sustainability into business
At PPDS we recognise that sustainability is about much more than words or short term actions. There are no limits and no end point for our vision in this respect. We are committed to making a difference, with our actions, as well as with our products and solutions. Ensuring we are supporting our business, our customers, and our industry, sustainably into the long term. For our futures, working together responsibly.
A circular approach
We take a circular approach to business, designing our products to have less impact on our planet, and to be more energy efficient. From the moment they are conceived, through the manufacturing process, their delivery and installation, all the way to the end of their extended first life and beyond.
This holistic approach is fully engaged across our own organisation, and strongly encouraged with our strategic partners. Empowering system integrators with solutions such as our Philips Wave remote display management ecosystem, our Android SoC platform, and our extended lifetime Philips Professional Displays. And continuing our responsibility at the end of our products’ lifetimes through our take back options, allowing us to recycle them in areas where they are still needed.
Display for the greater good
Agile solutions development
Our global approach to business is supported by our agile approach to development and this allows us to react quickly to market needs and to innovate display solutions to meet them.
Our taskforces work collaboratively with our partners to create timely new solutions, made available through our Philips ProStore. And our product team work tirelessly to develop new displays, and enhance existing ranges, to ensure power consumption and environmental impact are kept to a minimum.
Take a look at our Philips Unite LED 5000 and 6000 Series AIO – with a unique standby mode using less than 0.5w power when content doesn’t need to be seen. And average consumption on for this standout display is just 760w. Discover the Philips Tableaux range, showing static content using zero power, and only needing minimal power when changing the image. And dive in to the Philips Signage 3000 Series EcoDesign - the first display of its kind in the world to gain a C rated European Energy Label, and now with EPEAT Climate+ Gold.
Reducing resources used
From the amount of energy our products consume, through to the components they are made of, and the type and amount of packaging that they arrive in. At PPDS we work tirelessly to continually monitor and modify where we can make small differences that will work into big impacts.
Take for instance our packaging, with brown boxes, reduced in size and 98% plastic free. Or our palletisation, carefully optimised to bring a 184 ton Tank to Wheel (TTW) CO2 reduction and a 107 ton reduction of wood consumption each year.
Extending technology lifetime
Basing our displays on a professional Android SoC platform, and collaborating with software and hardware partners, we are dedicated to providing solutions that extend the lifetime of our products. Enabling regular updates of the firmware on a number of our displays, including our Philips MediaSuite TVs, to bring the latest features and benefits to existing fleets, delivering better return on investment to our customers, while reducing Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment WEEE.
And our Philips direct view LED products are designed to support energy saving, as well, with low energy consumption and lower heat dissipation built in via common cathode technology. And with active health monitoring, and pixel monitoring, as well as options to turn down brightness levels, on our AIO models remotely via our Philips Wave remote display management platform.
Community support and volunteering
As part of a responsible global organisation, our people are encouraged to support their local communities and causes close to their hearts, regularly taking part in activities to help others. And our business regularly contributes to projects and causes working to make a difference for the future, such as Mercy Ships, the Eye Care Foundation, and SAVe.
We are also committed to supporting our partners and customers, helping them to make a difference with their business, too. This takes shape in our partner program, as well as in the products we bring to market – from the extended lifetime of our Philips MediaSuite, to the low energy consumption of our Philips LED displays.
Our circular approach to sustainability
At PPDS, we believe that, in everything we do, we must always balance business benefits – customer value – with societal benefits – ecological value. Our future proof product thinking follows the circular economy ideal. Aiming to use resources in a closed loop without value loss, we have distinguished six principles: reduce; reuse; repair; refurbish; recycle; reinvent.
