About us

The Signify Foundation is an organization dedicated to supporting underprivileged and underserved communities across the world by enabling access to light. When pursuing this mission, the Foundation expects to leverage on Signify’s expertise and knowledge to help develop and provide easily-accessible, sustainable lighting systems that have a meaningful impact on people’s lives.

Our focus

We help to create positive change in developing remote and off-grid communities by focusing our efforts in three key areas:

Brighter Learning
Brighter Health
Brighter Living

Our partners

Through our projects, we partner with and support intermediaries across the value chain. Ranging from small local schools to international non-governmental organizations. Our partners are crucial when it comes to the execution and safeguarding the sustainability of our projects.

Annual Report 2023

Around the globe, 745 million people still live without access to energy, which often means living without access to light after sundown. Since our formation in 2017, we have been working toward our initial target of serving 10 million lives with lighting by 2025. Over the years, we have gathered experience and learnings that help us finetune our focus and operations to effectively serve communities in need. We are pleased to present our 2023 annual report, which will bring you along in the trials and triumphs we face as we work towards our vision, giving you insight into where we are and where we plan to go.
