Philips takes a structured, long-term approach to advancing human rights as part of doing business responsibly and sustainably. Together with employees, suppliers, customers and partners worldwide, we work to identify, prevent and mitigate risks across our value chain, helping expand equitable access to healthcare and creating sustainable value for people and society – guided by our Human Rights Policy, General Business Principles and Supplier Sustainability Declaration – and aligned with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and OECD Guidelines.
Philips integrates human rights due diligence into its daily operations. Regular Human Rights Impact Assessments help to monitor working conditions, ensure fair treatment and track progress.
Philips collaborates with suppliers to strengthen its sustainability performance and protect workers’ rights across the supply chain. Engagement, support and collaboration can help suppliers improve their social and environmental performance.
