Supplier Sustainability

At Signify, we are on a mission to improve people’s lives. This goal extends beyond our innovative products, systems and services to our supply chain. We invest in relationships with suppliers who provide a safe working environment, treat workers with respect, and work in an environmentally sound way.

Our approach

We take a systematic approach to improving the sustainability of our supply chain

By being transparent and engaging with a wide variety of stakeholders – ranging from customers, governments and NGOs to suppliers, employees and investors – we are able to identify issues and opportunities and gain insights that we use to refine our supplier sustainability strategy. We then translate this strategy into dedicated programs designed to help our suppliers improve their social and environmental performance.

Our programs

Our dedicated programs are driving improvements in social and environmental performance in our supply chain

We have developed a number of strategic programs to help our suppliers improve their sustainability performance, thus supporting our ambition to create a healthier, more sustainable world. These programs cover the assessment of supplier sustainability performance, management of regulated substances, conflict minerals, circular procurement, improvement of working conditions, and responsible sourcing initiatives.
