We assess our suppliers against the industry standard formulated by the EICC (Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition) and captured in the Philips Supplier Sustainability Declaration.
The Philips Lighting Supplier Sustainability Declaration (SSD) covers labor and human rights, worker health and safety, environmental impact, ethics, and management systems. In line with the requirements of the UK Modern Slavery Act and the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act, the SSD explicitly covers articles on Freely Chosen Employment. The Declaration also requires suppliers to cascade the EICC Code – as a total supply chain initiative – down to their next-tier suppliers.
