Sustainability – How is it necessary for global action lighting companies to drive their goals?

As of 2015, the global population reached 7.347 billion, and the huge population base led to a phenomenal population growth rate. The harm of such a horrendous population in terms of energy consumption and environmental damage has seriously exceeded the tolerance and self-healing ability of the Earth itself. As a result, natural disasters such as tsunami and earthquakes that have occurred frequently in recent years are the way in which the Earth complains to humans. At the same time, with the excessive emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, global warming, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and human survival The land area is shrinking year by year.

It must be said that countries around the world are facing a common problem: how to maintain sustainable development. Sustainable development is a theory and strategy on the coordinated development of nature, science and technology, economy and society. As early as 1980, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's "World Natural Resources Conservation Program" pointed out: "The basic relationship between natural, social, ecological, economic and natural resources must be studied to ensure global sustainable development. .

In recent years, sustainable development has continued to be valued by governments, and many countries including China, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany have taken their sustainable development strategies to new heights. In September 2015, 193 member states of the United Nations formally adopted 17 sustainable development goals. The Sustainable Development Goals aim to completely solve the developmental problems of the social, economic and environmental dimensions from 2015 to 2030 in an integrated manner and turn to the path of sustainable development.

Since “sustainable development” has become a global goal, it is necessary to first understand what aspects of the UN's 17 sustainable development goals are included:

As can be seen from the above chart, the United Nations set of global goals will eliminate poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity as part of a new sustainable development agenda. It is reported that each goal has set specific tasks for the next 15 years. The realization of these goals requires everyone's participation and needs the support of governments, the private sector, and civil society.

As a part of social power, lighting companies can directly participate in it? Gaogong LED believes that lighting companies can advance the “sustainable development” from affordable and clean energy, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, and climate action.

First, let's talk about the economically applicable clean energy aspects. This is not only reflected in the adoption of clean energy, the active reduction of energy pressure, but also in taking appropriate actions to reduce the consumption of traditional energy.

As is known, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of conventional light sources is low, and the energy consumption is much higher than that of LED light sources. Therefore, this brings great pressure on energy. As the manufacturing end of the light source, the lighting enterprise has a strategic position in promoting the replacement of LED light sources. Therefore, we saw that at the 8th Clean Energy Ministerial Conference, the Global Lighting Challenge Forum, 12 Chinese semiconductor lighting companies, including Mulinsen, voluntarily submitted a commitment: a total of 32 sales in the next two years. 900 million LED lamps and 5.77 million LED street lamps.

Of course, as the global lighting industry leader, Philips Lighting at the 8th Clean Energy Ministerial Conference (CEM8) in Beijing also reaffirmed its commitment to sell more than 2 billion energy-saving LED bulbs worldwide by 2020. As the world's largest LED lighting manufacturer, Philips Lighting has delivered 1 billion energy-saving LED bulbs.

Throughout the entire lighting industry, the importance of LED light sources has reached an unprecedented level. As more lighting companies join the “Global Lighting Challenge Program”, the replacement process for LED lighting will accelerate, and the “sustainable development goals” will be further advanced.

In terms of clean energy adoption, Philips Lighting has increased the use of renewable electricity to 60%, reducing its carbon footprint by 42%; by the end of 2016, Philips Lighting's operations in the United States are 100% renewable.

Second, let's talk about sustainable cities and communities. As a model of sustainable cities, smart cities have received the attention of governments. On a global scale, we can see the fieryness of “smart cities”. As an indispensable part of smart city, smart lighting has become the perfect entry point for many lighting companies to enter the smart city. All kinds of smart street lighting systems at home and abroad have become the vanguard of the transformation of smart cities.

Philips Lighting has gained more trust in sustainable urban areas. It is reported that Philips Lighting has developed a blueprint for the lighting and IoT services of smart cities in the future, and responds to the rapidly growing urban population demand with “people-oriented” lighting products, systems and services. In the "Smart City of 2030" virtual reality experience, Philips Lighting demonstrated the potential of smart connected LED lighting systems to improve the quality of life, improve the way of life and achieve sustainable development in the global expansion of cities.

Also, talk about responsible production and consumption. At present, the world's annual waste or discarded food accounts for about one-third of the total output, while nearly 815 million people are still chronically hungry. To sustainably meet global demand for food requires not only producers to produce more food, but also negative environmental impacts such as soil, water and nutrient loss, greenhouse gas emissions, and ecosystem degradation.

As a major resource consumption and pollution discharge, enterprises should take environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction as the strategic basis for achieving sustainable development of enterprises, adhere to the implementation of safe production, green production, and production, vigorously promote the construction of ecological civilization, and build resource-saving, Environmentally friendly business. Continuously improve quality management and provide consumers with better products and services.

As the world's largest provider of lighting solutions, Philips Lighting takes the initiative to increase its sustainability in production, operations and supply chain. Through the “Sparkling Life, Better World” sustainable development plan, we will focus on sustainable development efforts from two complementary perspectives.

Philips Lighting is committed to carbon neutral operations by 2020, using renewable energy to reduce the environmental impact of its operations. At the same time, by creating a sustainable supply chain that achieves zero workplace damage and zero landfill waste, and eliminates hazardous waste at all production sites, 83% of industrial waste from Philips Lighting is now recycled.

Also, let’s take a look at climate action. The climate issue has always been a global issue. At the Paris Climate Conference, LED lighting has become a perfect solution for global warming due to its green, environmental, high efficiency and energy saving. While lighting companies are pushing LED lighting, can they take other actions to solve climate problems?

Perhaps, some of the methods of Philips lighting are worth learning. Hong Guangli, CEO of Philips Lighting, announced during his recent visit to China that he is expected to achieve carbon neutral operation in Greater China by the end of 2017, and is committed to achieving carbon neutral operation for all businesses worldwide by 2020. In fact, at the 7th Clean Energy Ministerial Conference (CEM7) held in 2016, Philips Lighting called on global companies to meet the challenge and build a carbon neutral company. To deliver on this promise, Philips Lighting has reorganized every aspect of business operations, production processes and supply chain. At present, the work is progressing smoothly: By the end of 2016, Philips Lighting's carbon emissions have been reduced by 39% and renewable energy utilization rate has reached 67%.

Many people wonder what is carbon neutrality? According to the author's access to the information, carbon neutrality is calculated by calculating the total amount of carbon dioxide emissions and then absorbing these emissions through tree planting to achieve environmental protection. It is an introspection and self-discipline after people reflect on the reality of global warming, and it is a positive action after the awakening of the people of the world. Carbon neutrality can usually be achieved by promoting the use of renewable energy and afforestation.

Of course, in addition to the above four goals, lighting companies can contribute their own efforts to the remaining 14 sustainable development goals. And companies are bound to get the benefits from sustainable business. For example, the corresponding sustainable sales of Philips Lighting increased from 5.3 billion euros in 2015 to 5.5 billion euros in 2016, and sales of sustainable products, systems and services. The share ratio increased from 72% in 2015 to 78% in 2016.

The “sustainable development goal” is a long and arduous task for the whole world. Only when the government, enterprises and social individuals work together and strengthen the common direction can we truly achieve global sustainable development.
