Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, is taking a dual leap in its commitment to global sustainability with the newly announced ‘Brighter Lives, Better World 2030’ programme alongside its next-generation Interact connected lighting solutions. These announcements reinforce its commitment to enabling a low-carbon, resource-efficient, and smarter built environment.

\n\n

Together, the initiatives showcase Signify’s mission to bridge ambitious climate targets with actionable, intelligent technology, delivering tangible impact across cities, buildings, and communities. As global electricity demand rises and climate resilience becomes increasingly critical, this integrated approach creates measurable results, addressing the most urgent challenges faced by modern energy grids, businesses, and municipalities worldwide.

Brighter Lives, Better World 2030: Expanding impact where it matters most
\nBuilding on a decade of sustainability leadership and remaining firmly committed to its 2040 net-zero ambition, Signify’s third chapter of ‘Brighter Lives, Better World’ pivots heavily toward empowering its customers. Responding to the global surge in electricity demand, resource scarcity, and volatile energy pricing, the programme is designed to deliver aggressive energy and resource reductions.

\n\n

By the end of 2030, Signify commits to:

\n\n

Saving 60 TWh of energy cumulatively for its customers.
Achieving a 35% annualised reduction in portfolio CO₂ emission intensity.
Generating 41% of revenues from solutions that support benefits beyond illumination (up from 31% in 2024), including safety and security, health and well-being, solar lighting, and efficient food production.

\n\n

Signify is introducing a \"use less, use longer, use again\" framework driven by two distinct customer programs to champion the circular economy—Signify Circle and Signify Switch.

\n\n

Professional customers will be supported by Signify Circle, a new initiative delivering products and services aligned with clear circularity criteria. Signify Circle revenues will span four categories that include dedicated Circle products, Light as a Service, remanufacturing, and spare parts & upgrade kits.

\n\n

To support energy efficiency transitions, the expanded Signify Switch programme will guide customers in financing and deploying efficient LED systems.

\n\n

“‘Brighter Lives, Better World 2030’ is designed to deliver solutions that improve lives, save energy, and make better use of resources—which is exactly what our customers are asking for. It shows that impact and opportunity go hand in hand, as we create real value for society, while building a stronger, more resilient company,” said As Tempelman, Chief Executive Officer of Signify.

\n\n

Jitender Khurana, Chief Executive Officer of Professional Business for Southeast Asia & Far East, added, “Southeast Asia’s energy demand is soaring, with nearly 80% fuelled by fossil fuels. This creates a critical imbalance as emissions are set to rise by a third by 2050, while fossil fuel shortages loom. The urgency has never been greater. Buildings account for 40% of global energy consumption and emissions, making lighting upgrades one of the most immediate levers available - capable of reducing energy use by up to 80% while directly cutting Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Through ‘Brighter Lives, Better World 2030’, we enable partners to act now with intelligent systems that deliver real energy savings and data-driven solutions, paving the way for circular, future-ready growth.”

\n\n

Progress on Signify’s ‘Brighter Lives, Better World 2030’ programme will be reported every quarter, in line with the company’s financial results.

\n\n

Empowering smart cities and buildings through next-generation interaction solutions
\nTranslating these strategic sustainability goals into immediate action, Signify introduced four major additions to its Interact platform at the Light + Building exhibition in Frankfurt. These solutions prove that sustainability and operational efficiency go hand-in-hand by unlocking the power of real-time data.

\n\n

The newly unveiled data-enabled solutions include:

\n\n

Interact for Intelligent Buildings
\nTrusted in over 40,000 projects worldwide, Signify Interact for Intelligent Buildings transforms buildings into intelligent environments, giving owners and facility managers greater insight and control. The new Interact Building suite offers owners and facility managers deeper insights through centralised, real-time monitoring and automation to optimise lighting across all professional indoor spaces, ultimately further reducing operational costs and maximising energy savings.

\n\n

Interact EasyConnect
\nSimplifying and accelerating the deployment of connected outdoor lighting through cellular and hybrid connectivity, Interact EasyConnect removes the need for complex wiring and extensive infrastructure, enabling faster and more flexible implementation of smart lighting systems. This supports cities and operators in transitioning efficiently toward scalable, future-ready lighting networks.

\n\n

Central Management System (CMS)
\nThe CMS empowers city operators with a unified digital platform to remotely monitor, control, and manage large-scale outdoor lighting networks. By centralising operations and delivering real-time system visibility, it enhances maintenance efficiency, improves responsiveness, and ensures consistent lighting performance across urban environments.

\n\n

Traffic and Weather Adaptive Lighting Systems
\nBy dynamically adjusting lighting levels in response to real-time traffic flow and weather conditions, rather than relying on fixed schedules, this intelligent approach enhances road safety and visibility when needed, while minimising unnecessary energy consumption during low-activity periods.

\n\n

A unified vision for a brighter, resilient world
\nWith both initiatives underway, Signify reinforces its commitment to a resilient, responsible future, advancing low-impact manufacturing, ethical supply chains, and greater access to lighting in underserved communities.

\n\n

Guided by the principle that corporate impact and market opportunity go hand in hand, Signify continues to create long-term value through ‘Brighter Lives, Better World 2030’ and its next-generation Interact platform, combining climate action with IoT innovation to power smarter, more sustainable environments.
