Philips AG's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Koninklijke Philips N.V.

Philips AG, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. However, the company is part of a corporate family that includes Koninklijke Philips N.V., which may influence its climate commitments and initiatives. Philips AG's climate commitments are cascaded from its parent company, Koninklijke Philips N.V. This includes participation in various sustainability initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and the RE100 initiative, all of which aim to drive significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. While specific reduction targets for Philips AG are not detailed, the overarching goals from Koninklijke Philips N.V. suggest a commitment to sustainability and climate action. As a current subsidiary of Koninklijke Philips N.V., Philips AG aligns with the broader corporate strategy focused on reducing carbon footprints and enhancing environmental responsibility. The absence of specific emissions data highlights the need for ongoing transparency and accountability in climate reporting within the organisation.
