Capacity building, consequence management and structural attention from management are crucial to realizing and lasting changes at supplier production sites.
We provide classroom training sessions for suppliers, Philips sustainability experts regularly visit suppliers to provide on-site consultancy and training, and we invite suppliers to participate in trainings provided by the EICC.
To address emerging issues we also provide in-depth capacity building programs to our suppliers on specific topics. Recent examples include our China Health & Safety program, Dust Explosion and Prevention program, Fire Safety program, and the Supplier Sustainability Communication Platform.
