“Philips has a comprehensive sustainability strategy that is embedded into its business model both on the procurement side, such as the purchase of green energy, and on the customer side in the form of circular economy and sustainable healthcare solutions,” said Frans van Houten, CEO Royal Philips. “We see achieving carbon neutrality as soon as possible not only as a moral obligation but also as a business opportunity, because customers are increasingly looking at sustainability as a criterion to choose a vendor. It is also visible evidence of our commitment to meeting UN Sustainability Goal objectives, notably those on climate change, as part of our ‘Healthy people, Sustainable planet’ program.”
“Krammer has emerged from a unique citizens' initiative and Nouryon is proud to be one of their first customers,” said Marcel Galjee, Energy Director at Nouryon. “By working together in this green energy purchasing consortium with Philips, Google and DSM we aim to limit the risk in fluctuating energy supplies, while at the same time reducing emissions and growing our business.”
‘The opening of the Windpark Krammer is a milestone for the community, the Zeeuwind and Deltawind cooperations who initiated this project and for our consortium,” said Marc Oman, Google EU Energy lead. “It is because of long term purchase agreements with local windparks like Krammer that we can operate our business in the Netherlands in an environmentally sustainable way.”
