| What is your company’s involvement with the Community? |
In Philips we have been improving people’s lives with pioneering innovations for 115 years, ever since our company was founded. Our values and our mission is to improve the quality of people’s lives through the timely introduction of meaningful innovations. In Ukraine Philips has been conducting sustainability project in educational sphere for 3 years already. We equipped 10 Ukrainian rural schools with computers. Besides, we organized lectures for teachers and supplied these schools with literature both in electronic form and hard copies. Children from these schools have an opportunity to be tested at one of the best universities of our country – Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Starting this year Philips has continued the sustainability project in the medical sphere and started the project to help people from distant and fouled regions by delivering to them medical diagnostic equipment. |

| What is your company’s practice of business ethics? |
"Philips General Business Principles set out guiding principles on integrity and ethics in business conduct. The Philips General Business Principles (GBP) govern the company’s business decisions and actions throughout the world, applying equally to corporate actions as well as the behavior of individual employees when on company business. To encourage and enable employees to report violations of the Philips General Business Principles and to submit complaints anonymously, if desired, Philips has implemented the One Philips Ethics Line. This ensures that all alleged violations are registered and dealt with within one system. The One Philips Ethics Line also urges everyone to take responsibility; and that’s what sustainability is all about. Doing the right thing – everyday, everywhere." |
