Philips Day-Brite is making a fundamental commitment to protect the environment through the continuous improvement of our energy performance. We believe that an organization-wide energy management approach will help us enhance our financial health, increase our value, and aid in preserving the environment for future generations. Our facilities headquartered in Tupelo, MS cover 880,000 square feet and produce approximately 7 million units annually of lighting products. Over 80% of the products sold by Philips Day-Brite are made in one of these two manufacturing plants located in Sparta, TN or Tupelo, MS. In 2011, a new facility in Monterrey, Mexico will come online to support our high-volume products.
Sustainability goals
To support our responsible growth as a manufacturer by developing green manufacturing processes and other environmental strategies
As a lighting component manufacturer, leveraging our innovations to develop sustainable lighting - lighting that meets users needs with the least consumption of energy and other resources.
To engage with our community (on a local & regional basis, as well as, within the professional industry itself) and to engage with our employees- sharing our know-how with others and learning from each other.
We believe in two main sustaining principles: optimization & minimization.
- Optimization of our manufacturing, logistics and warehousing processes along with our commitment to continue to introduce new products that support our efforts in improving the environment of our customers, employees and their communities by their enhanced energy efficient performance.
- Minimization of the resources used in our operations inclusive of the purchasing of our components through an optimized supplier chain.
Â
 In 2007, Philips Day-Brite became an Energy Star Partner where it committed its Executive Management team to initially develop proper metrics to benchmark its energy consumption tracking progress and then set the goal of reducing its energy consumption by 25% in 5 years.
By participating as an elite member of the Energy Star Partners program, we can leverage the knowledge from those businesses in different industries that have managed successful energy reduction programs.
In today's business, we cannot afford to focus only on profits. We therefore feel that sustainability can support our healthy financial performance along with the company's leadership and development in strategic economic, social, and environmental programs surpassing industry
standards. |
