Impact 1: Addressing Climate Change
  
Take urgent action to combat climate change 
and its impacts.
8.60 million metric tons of CO2 averted by customers 
using Lumileds products in 2021.
1	 CO2 reductions that can be attributed to the illumination market are calculated based on three reference products: 
LUXEON 3030 2D for the mid-power segment, and LUXEON TX and LUXEON 5050 for the high-power segment. The 
energy efficiency improvements of the reference products are extrapolated to the entire sales volume of 2021 for both 
the mid-power and high-power segments. CO2 reductions are annualized based on an average hours of use of 2,000 
hours per year and calculated compared to conventional lighting products. In comparison to conventional lighting a 
conservative saving of 49 percent is used. This analysis does not account for the impact of historical installs (LED sales 
prior to 2021) on CO2 reductions in 2021.
Reducing Carbon Footprint Through Energy Efficient Lighting1 
For more than 100 years, Lumileds has been pushing the boundaries of light through a 
series of firsts, particularly in the LED sector. We invented new classes of semiconductors, 
packages, and phosphor materials that dramatically reduced the amount of electricity 
required to produce a lumen of light. This started with Lumileds work in the 
commercialization of LEDs at Hewlett-Packard in the 1960s and continued with industry-
shaping LED applications and efficacy breakthroughs ever since. 
Today, we continue to make our cities, homes, offices, mobile devices, and vehicles more 
efficient through the development of energy-efficient lighting solutions. Our primary 
contribution to combatting climate change comes through our LED innovations that 
dramatically reduce the energy needed to produce light. We also focus on understanding 
the overall energy impacts of the materials that go into our products and reducing them 
wherever possible. 
Compared to traditional incandescent lights, Lumileds LED products require ten times less 
energy to produce an equivalent amount of light. This tremendous efficiency gain reduces 
the carbon footprint of our products during their use-phase and saves customers money. 
In 2021, Lumileds averted 8.60 million metric tons of use-phase CO2 through our LED 
products (compared to 6.42 million metric tons in 2020). This represents an important 
step forward, given the critical urgency to decarbonize economies across the world. 
We also reduce the impacts associated with the production phase by avoiding or 
minimizing the use of hazardous substances and by setting standards for supplier 
environmental performance.
Key Impact Indicators: Efficiency Improvements
•	 Our new line of LUXEON 2835 Commercial LEDs are engineered and designed to 
support the growing demand for a high volume, high-efficacy mid-power LED to 
serve commercial indoor lighting applications without sacrificing the quality and 
robustness expected of LUXEON LEDs. 
•	 The improved LUXEON 3030 2D Round delivers high efficacy, high light output 
and corrosion resistance that outperforms others, enabling customers to further 
optimize their solutions and support sustainability while improving lighting.
•	 More lumens, higher efficacy, and lower system costs are the driving forces 
behind the new LUXEON 7070, which is designed for any new or redesigned 
streetlight, high/low bay, horticulture, or other application that requires many 
thousands of lumens. 
•	 The LUXEON 5050 HE LED directly addresses the increasing demand for solar and 
off-grid solutions, renewable power options, and improved sustainability metrics.

Looking Ahead
Lumileds will continue investing in innovation to bring more energy efficient products and 
solutions to market. In collaboration with our customers, we will continue exploring new 
applications of our technology to drive adoption of lighting innovations with the goal of 
reducing carbon emissions. 
We also plan to expand our development of MicroLED, an emerging display technology 
that represents the future of the display industry, bringing higher brightness, and more 
efficient and longer lasting displays that enable new and exciting production paradigms 
and business models. To date, Lumileds has demonstrated state-of-the-art MicroLED 
performance efficiencies and plans to continue exploring how this new technology can 
further our goal of reducing carbon footprint through energy efficient applications. 
A critical enabler for realizing further energy efficiency benefits is the application of 
lighting controls. Lumileds is leading the light source development in a DOE-funded 
multi-partner R&D project that aims to demonstrate the energy savings potential of 
digital light sources in general lighting applications. While great strides have already 
been made in source efficacy, there is still vast untapped potential for improvements 
in delivery efficiency, i.e. providing light only when and where it is needed. Digital light 
source technology based on projection of segmented light sources enables the precise 
and dynamic tailoring of light distributions to the needs of any application. Lumileds 
pioneered this technology for adaptive driving beam headlights and is now leveraging 
its expertise to bring this functionality and the associated energy savings to general 
illumination. In the project, Lumileds will install prototype light engines in two conference 
rooms, one at its San Jose, CA facility and one at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, to allow 
lighting control developers and lighting designers to develop dynamic lighting designs and 
evaluate their potential to reduce lighting energy consumption.

Our Product Impact
In December 2021, Lumileds announced the launch of their very first road-legal LED 
automotive headlight bulb in Austria, the Philips Ultinon Pro6000. 
Lumileds focus on innovation and safety was demonstrated once again with the launch of 
the Philips Ultinon Pro6001 H7-LED in France (March 2022). With the introduction of the 
first road-legal H7-LED retrofit headlight bulb in France, French drivers now can upgrade 
from halogen to road-legal LED retrofit lights. A comprehensive test program confirmed 
the new Philips Ultinon Pro6001 LED-H7’s advanced capabilities and safety, enabling 
homologation by the French authorities. 
Drivers in these countries now have a way to distinguish between fully tested, high-quality 
retrofit LED bulbs that won’t dazzle other road-users and the many unregulated lamps on 
the market whose safety remains questionable. 
Key Impact Indicators: Vehicle and Road Safety
•	 We launched our very first road-legal LED automotive headlight bulb in Austria and 
Germany, the Philips Ultinon Pro6000. Drivers across the country can now legally 
and easily upgrade their headlights from halogen to Philips LED, which provides an 
exceptional beam with up to 230% brighter light, compared to the minimum legal 
standard for halogen bulbs (courtesy of the advanced Lumileds LUXEON Altilon 
LEDs). 
•	 Philips CrystalVision platinum upgrade headlight bulbs deliver a brilliant, white 
light while also providing excellent performance. More than just a styling innovation, 
CrystalVision platinum bulbs provide up to 130% more vision than standard halogen 
bulb, better contrast and enhanced visibility when driving at night, which enhances 
driver comfort and reduces eye fatigue. The longer beam pattern also gives drivers 
more time to react.
•	 We launched our new line of Philips Ultinon Essential LED Headlights in Canada, 
representing the latest in LED lighting technology and ensuring the ultimate 
performance and safety for drivers. In addition, Philips X-tremeUltinon LED 
Headlight Bulbs, also recently launched, are noticeably whiter and brighter than 
standard headlights and illuminate the road clearly without blinding oncoming 
drivers. 
Looking Ahead 
As automotive technology advances, cars are becoming more sustainable, safer, and 
more intelligent. New enabling lighting technologies such as Matrix LED and MicroLED 
will improve safety and visual comfort for drivers. 
As we speak, LED technology is reinventing itself evolving with the emergence of 
MicroLEDs. Leveraging all its expertise in materials, processing, and packaging design 
built up over multiple decades, the LED industry has now come up with a disruptive 
new generation of highly miniaturized LED devices. Typical chip dimensions have been 
downscaled from millimeters to microns, making these MicroLEDs high-resolution, 
pixelated light sources. This will eventually lead to fully digital lighting applications 
for cars. These addressable MicroLEDs will be fed data from various sensors in the 
vehicle, and the resulting light patterns will communicate the embedded information 
visually to drivers or other road users. Numerous new applications are being explored: 
fully software-controlled high-definition headlighting beams, digital-signaling surround 
projection, information-display lighting, and more.
Lumileds has demonstrated a 20k pixel high-resolution MicroLED solution enabling 
advanced digital headlighting applications for ultra-compact design. The individual 
control of pixels (in the light source) offers a variety of new features in the beam 
distribution pattern and expands functionality towards novel symbol and road 
marking projections to enhance safety. 
We are making vehicles safer today and are 
working on future solutions for the era of 
autonomous driving. Before crossing the 
street, pedestrians intuitively make eye contact 
with drivers to confirm they have been seen. 
Autonomous vehicles will have to take over 
this important safety task without an active 
driver behind the wheel. Together with 
automakers, we are defining and developing 
new solutions that communicate with pedestrians through lighting. In today's world, 
turn signals, hazard lights, and brake lights give signals to other road users. In a future 
of automated driving, vehicles will say “I see you” using Lumileds lighting technologies, 
communicating via embedded dynamic display-like car body lighting, bringing form 
(design) and function (safety) together.

Impact 3: Light for Health and Well-being
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all.
Lumileds has the most comprehensive illumination LED portfolio in 
the industry, with different package types available in a wide range of 
spectra, enabling luminaire makers and lighting designers to design LED 
systems that deliver high-quality illumination while optimally supporting 
the circadian system. 
Supporting Health and Well-being Through Lighting
We established a partnership with BIOS Lighting in 2020, a human centric lighting 
innovator. Together, we created LUXEON® SkyBlue™, a new LED to address circadian 
lighting and dramatically lower the lumen per dollar barriers that have prevented 
widespread adoption of better, healthier lighting. 
How does it work? BIOS SkyBlue Circadian technology engages with a non-visual 
photoreceptor in the eye. During the day, SkyBlue strengthens circadian rhythm, 
increases alertness, improves focus, and boosts moods. In the evening, luminaires using 
LUXEON SkyBlue and BIOS technology can create a warmer atmosphere that promotes 
natural melatonin production leading to a better night’s sleep.
In March 2021, we announced the immediate availability of our new LED human-centric 
lighting solution – LUXEON SkyBlue. In partnership with BIOS Lighting, Lumileds has 
engineered a circadian lighting solution that delivers superior melanopic ratios at 
comfortable CCTs – 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K – with industry-leading efficacy and 
uniformity at the lowest solution cost. 
LUXEON SkyBlue won a 2021 Architectural Products Magazine Product Innovation Award 
for interior lighting. Our collaboration with BIOS Lighting simplifies the analysis and 
engineering necessary to create a human-centric circadian #lighting system.
LUXEON SkyBlue received the LEDs Magazine 2021 
Sapphire Award for #CircadianLighting!
Lumileds is further supporting circadian rhythm by 
designing products that reduce exposure to nighttime 
light, including the limiting of sky glow. Sky glow is the 
brightening of the night sky attributable to scattering of 
light from human-made sources (e.g., outdoor electric 
lighting), including radiation that is emitted directly 
upward and radiation that is reflected from surfaces. 
Because LEDs allow light to be better aimed, we are 
able to control and limit the amount of light that is 
directed upward into the sky from our products.
Additionally, sky glow and blue light exposure at 
night can both be reduced by spectral distributions that contain less blue light. In 
general, "blue-er light" tends to be more efficient than light of warmer tint. Lumileds has 
developed phosphor materials that allow us to make warmer light, with much of the 
reduced efficacy mitigated.

Key Impact Indicators: Light for Health and Well-being
•	 Potential turned to reality with a collaboration between Summa-Systems and 
Lumileds. Summa-Systems puts the full gamut of color tuning capabilities in 
LUXEON Fusion at the fingertips of lighting designers and end users: a Summa-
Systems-enabled fixture can create some 600,000 different shades of white and 
special colors. Any kind of dimming profile can be implemented, with full dimming 
from 100% to 0.1%. The Summa-Systems interface also implements the LUXEON 
Fusion dim-to-warm capability, synchronizing dimming with color changing from 
2700K to 1800K.
•	 In partnership with BIOS, Lumileds’ LUXEON SkyBlue LED is a new human-centric 
lighting product that delivers the spectral power distribution (SPD) designed by 
BIOS to enhance sleep patterns, improve productivity, and generally raise the 
comfort level of people in a space. 
•	 We introduced the new Philips GoPure GP5212, a powerful, compact, and 
innovative car air purifier that can quickly remove up to 100 different types of 
pollutants and neutralize unpleasant odors in a vehicle. GoPure GP5212 uses a 
special 3-layer filter technology to quickly deliver clean, fresh air in minutes and 
its extremely compact and portable design makes it easy to use anywhere in the 
vehicle.
Looking Ahead
We continue working with lighting designers and experts in sensors and controls 
to develop the next generation of light engines that provide dynamic control over 
not only intensity and spectrum but also the direction of lighting. This technology 
will enable lighting installations to better perform on critical human-centric lighting 
metrics such as light uniformity and contrast, glare, and retinal melanopic illuminance. 
LUXEON Fusion
Our LUXEON Fusion platform technology takes human centric lighting to the next level by 
making the highest quality tunable and human-centric white light selection available for 
mainstream adoption. When lighting designers are lighting hospitals, restaurants, offices, 
or retail venues, they often wish to be able to adjust color temperatures and light levels 
throughout the day to complement a changing ambient environment to improve health 
and happiness. LUXEON Fusion makes that possible.
Increasing Food Availability and Quality Through Horticulture Lighting 
There is a continual quest to improve the yield and quality of crops, flowers and 
vegetation. With the advancement of LED technology, lighting is playing an ever more 
important role in traditional and urban farming. The practice of using LED illumination to 
grow plants is proving in many cases to be a greener, more environmentally sustainable 
choice that not only impacts yields but energy efficiency and even water consumption. 
To support the horticulture market, Lumileds has developed a portfolio of horticulture 
LEDs. We support growers’ and lighting equipment manufacturers’ experimentation by 
providing the industry’s broadest portfolio of horticultural-grade LEDs.

(roughly equivalent to 6% of Lumileds total water 
consumption). We will continue to focus on water 
efficiency projects in 2022.
Waste and Recycling
In 2021, we realized a waste recycling rate of 90% (compared to 83% in 
2020).
Total waste generated per unit produced decreased by 12.1%, against a 
target of 3%. The decrease was mainly driven by waste reduction initiatives.
In absolute terms, total waste decreased in 2021 by 329 metric tons 
(a decrease of 7.6%) compared to 2020. 
•	 Reduce waste generated in our 
operations per industrial output by 
15%, compared to 2020 baseline.
•	 Increase the waste recycling rate to 
85%.
In 2022, we will extend the zero waste to landfill pilot 
we initiated in 2021, to identify and implement further 
opportunities across our sites to reduce, reuse and 
recycle.
1	 Absolute carbon emissions, energy, and water consumption increased from 2020 to 2021 as production volumes recovered from a lower level in 2020 due to COVID-19.

Improving Operational Efficiency 
We continue to reduce our operational impact by pursuing comprehensive programs to 
improve the efficiency of manufacturing, lowering energy and water use, reducing waste, 
and reducing negative impacts from chemical processes. 
Improving Energy Efficiency 
Energy use is our most significant operational impact area. The energy that we use 
releases carbon emissions and has the potential to pollute local air. To mitigate this 
impact, we focus on reducing energy use through internal efficiency programs and we 
have set company-wide targets for energy-use reduction.

Energy Efficiency Programs 
In 2021, all our manufacturing sites implemented projects to reduce energy consumption. 
In total, these projects are expected to produce more than 3 gigawatt hours of annual 
savings. Examples of projects achieving energy savings are provided below. 
•	 Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (HVAC)
In Singapore, the chilled water system efficiency was improved by raising chilled water 
supply temperature from 5.8°C to 7°, resulting in reduced electricity consumption of 
263 MWh per year. In addition, air handling units were further optimized with Variable 
Speed Drive (VSD), resulting in reduced energy consumption of 269 MWh per year. 
•	 Compressed Air Projects 
In Aachen, Germany, we optimized power management of pressured air compressors 
as part of a change in the production shift pattern, thereby reducing electricity 
required for compressed air production by 923 MWh per year. In Penang, Malaysia, we 
optimized the compressor configuration for the compressed dry air system, reducing 
the pressure, increasing redundancy, and use of a pressure booster. The optimization 
reduces electricity consumption for compressed air by 394 MWh per year. 
Reducing the Climate Impact of Our Operations
The majority of our GHG emissions are released through the energy used at 
manufacturing sites and the release of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in our 
manufacturing.

We have implemented several energy reduction initiatives, which will result in 
significant GHG emission reductions. See “Improving Operational Efficiency” for more 
detail on these initiatives. 
PFCs serve two important roles in the semiconductor manufacturing process—
chamber cleaning and plasma etching. Although we limit PFC use, its high potency as 
a GHG compared to CO2 makes this compound a significant emissions contributor. 
Notably, our emissions from PFCs have drastically reduced in recent past years (see 
"Lumileds GHG Emissions and Perfluorinated Compounds" table), primarily from 
emissions reduction efforts in our Singapore facility.

Conserving Water 
Our larger manufacturing sites have 
wastewater reclamation systems that treat 
and recycle wastewater from production 
to then be used again in production, 
cooling towers, and scrubbers. Our 
company-wide water reduction target to 
reduce water use intensity is driving the 
more water-intensive sites to find new 
ways to reduce water use. For example, 
a water efficiency project in Singapore is 
treating and diverting condensate water 
from the Air Handling Units for reuse 
in the cooling towers thus reducing the 
needs for fresh incoming water to the 
plant. The project results in a decrease of 
freshwater consumption by roughly 12 
thousand m3 per year.
Ensuring Environmental Best 
Practice 
All Lumileds manufacturing sites 
are certified to the ISO 14001:2015: 
Environmental Management Systems 
standard. In addition, our site in 
Aachen, Germany is certified to the ISO 
50001:2011: Energy Management Systems 
standard and our site in Singapore 
is certified to the Water Efficiency 
Management System (WEMS): SS577:2012. 
Reducing Waste 
Our manufacturing sites generate 
hazardous and nonhazardous waste 
streams, in addition to office and general 
waste. Most of the waste is related to the 
manufacturing of our products. 
Lumileds has a company-wide target to 
increase the recycling rate of the total 
waste generated to 85 percent and reduce 
the amount of waste delivered to landfill. 
The recycling rate is tracked and defined 
as the total waste delivered for recycling 
as a percentage of total waste, inclusive of 
waste incineration with energy recovery. 
In 2021, our recycling rate was 90 percent 
(compared to 83 percent in 2020) and our 
recycling rate excluding waste incineration 
was 67 percent. We have also set a goal 
to reduce the waste generated in our 
operations per industrial output by 15 
percent compared to our 2020 baseline.
To achieve our goals, we implemented 
projects focused on optimizing the 
segregation of waste streams and training 
employees to minimize the mixture of 
recyclable and non-recyclable waste. 
Manufacturing sites are also looking for 
opportunities to divert waste from going 
to landfill. As depicted by the following 
chart, our total waste at Lumileds 
decreased by more than 329 metric tons 
in 2021.

Reducing Hazardous Substances 
Wherever possible, we work to minimize or eliminate hazardous substances from 
our products. Our policies and operations frequently go beyond existing industry-
related hazardous substances regulations and standards, and we publish and 
update regularly the Lumileds List of Regulated Substances. This list is derived from 
stakeholder consultations, scientific evidence of hazards, and awareness of existing 
and possible future legislative requirements, and we require all suppliers to comply 
with it as a condition of doing business with Lumileds.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle 
Lumileds Penang has implemented the Go-Green Initiative to reduce waste to landfill. 
Several programs have been implemented, such as paper cups elimination, tissue 
paper elimination, and recycling of used plastic utensils. 
Lumileds Environmental Policies and Documents
•	 Environmental, Health and Safety Policy 
•	 ISO 14001:2015 Certification 
•	 REACH Position Statement 
•	 Regulated Substances List (RSL) 
•	 Supplier Sustainability Declaration (SSD)
Looking Ahead
We remain steadfast in our commitment to further efficiency improvements on 
emissions, energy, water, and waste. For 2021, we have identified and initiated 
strategic initiatives to focus on increasing the use of renewable energy and on working 
towards zero waste to landfill. We’re also doubling down on our commitment to 
renewable energy. As of March 2022, our Malaysia operations are fully powered by 
renewable energy, and our San Jose operations by at least 40% renewable energy. 
These initiatives combined reduce our company wide CO2 footprint by more than 40%.

Focusing on the Employee 
Experience 
Even with social distancing during the 
COVID-19 pandemic, we continued to 
engage and communicate with our 
employees in several ways, including 
through video, web-based media, and 
virtual events. 
Company updates are regularly shared 
through our intranet—THE HUB—which 
promotes awareness of business results, 
customer wins, and large internal 
initiatives. It promotes engagement, 
recognition, and role modeling by 
featuring employee stories at all levels, 
and it also serves as an educational tool 
about the Lumileds business. We feature 
sites so that employees can understand 
the diversity of our locations and people.
Our recognition program awards and 
celebrates outstanding employee 
achievement and contribution. 
Recognition is most often offered for 
project completion, outstanding results, 
living Lumileds values, and company 
seniority. We have different award levels, 
each with a different monetary reward. 
We also hosted our annual quality 
improvement competition as a virtual 
event where employees from across 
Lumileds share quality improvement 
ideas, and a jury of senior-level business 
leaders selects the winners. 
In the 2020 people survey, employees 
asked for continued work flexibility post 
COVID, allowing employees to work from 
home a few days per week. We listened 
and deployed flexible working across the 
US and parts of Europe in 2021, offering 
employees more freedom to work from 
any location, provided they can access 
the technology necessary for their job 
duties and it is aligned with their manager. 
In 2021, we executed our third global 
survey. We received feedback on topics 
such as company direction, customer 
focus, innovation, work environment, and 
leadership. We had a very strong response 
rate at 81 percent and scored just above 
the score of the 2020 survey (73 vs 72). 
More importantly, the survey scores show 
a positive trend on important topics like 
Company direction and Communication. 
It also highlighted again some of our key 
strengths: Ethics, Compliance and People 
leadership. 
Promoting Health and Safety 
Health and safety is our number 
one priority at Lumileds. We aim to 
foster an injury prevention culture 
where employees, managers, and 
leadership have the courage to act 
on “potential” injuries before they 
occur. We conduct risk assessments, 
host safety trainings, oversee safety 
improvement programs, and make 
ongoing adjustments to processes and 
operations. All our manufacturing sites 
are certified for ISO 45001 as the basis 
for our Occupational Health and Safety 
Management System. The management 
system ensures a structured approach 
on key safety topics such as hazard/
risk assessment, operational controls, 
training, communication, governance, and 
management review. These topics are 
assessed through internal and external 
safety audits.
Goals
Reduce lost workday injury cases 
to 0.15*
Progress in 2021
In 2021, our lost workday injury 
case rate was 0.17 
(compared to 0.14 in 2020). 
*Percentages are based on cases per 100 full-time 
equivalent employees (FTE).
In 2021, our Total Recordable Case rate 
was 0.30. (measured as total number 
of recordable cases per 100 FTE at 
manufacturing sites).
Promoting a Healthy Workforce
At Lumileds, our first priority is – and will 
always be – to protect the health and 
safety of our employees. In response 
to COVID-19, we implemented a strict 
global policy at every site and launched 
additional measures in alignment with 
various local regulations or local health 
authority guidance. The global health 
advisory protocol originally issued in 
January 2020 has been updated several 
times to reflect the latest pandemic 
developments and will continue to evolve 
as the pandemic evolves. 
Our ability to safeguard employees’ 
health, deploy and manage new digital 
ways of working, and evolving our 
approach to supply chain management 
is more robust than ever. As we look 
forward to continuing to transition out of 
the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect the 
measures implemented to strengthen our 
resiliency and agility as a company will 
continue to have a positive impact on our 
day-to-day business operations. 
In addition to the strict COVID-19 health 
and safety protocols we put in place, our 
sites around the world implement a range 
of initiatives to support the health and 
well-being of employees, including: 
•	 Health talks by experts on topics such 
as women’s health, ergonomics, stress 
management, and COVID-19 related 
topics. 
•	 Periodic dedicated days or weeks to 
promote a healthy lifestyle (e.g. steps 
challenges).
•	 Risk assessments on mental stress.
•	 Campaigns offering employees access 
to various health screenings
Reducing Safety Risks Through 
Continual Improvement
In 2021, a total of 14,032 injury prevention 
actions were performed, including:
•	 9,798 behavior observations with 
feedback provided
•	 2,952 at risk conditions observed and 
addressed
•	 1,282 near misses reported and action 
taken

Changing Behaviors for a Safer Workplace
We work to reinforce a company-wide culture where everyone is equipped to proactively 
identify, address, and reduce unsafe behaviors. To support this, Lumileds created 
Behavior Based Safety (BBS) programs that foster positive safety behaviors. BBS 
observations create a culture where employees openly look out for themselves and each 
other and discuss how to do their jobs more safely.
Safety Training 
We provide trainings at our sites to ensure all employees have the right skills and 
knowledge to do their job safely, as well as minimize the risk of injuries to themselves and 
colleagues. Our training programs range from general safety trainings for employees to 
job-specific safety trainings and specialized trainings. 
Examples of specialized trainings carried out in 2021 include: 
•	 	First aid trainings 
•	 Fire protection trainings 
•	 Behavior Based Safety (BBS) Trainings on how to 
conduct BBS assessments 
•	 Safety Awareness Trainings
•	 Log-out Tag-out (LOTO) trainings on electrical safety 
•	 Machine safety trainings 
•	 Chemical safety trainings 
Zero Accidents as part of Operational Excellence 
Total Continuous Process Improvement and Innovation (TCPI2) was launched in Q1 2021 
in support of Lumileds' Strategic Priorities to achieve Operational Excellence. The program 
integrates all seven previously existing Continuous Improvement Programs and organizes 
them under three new "Zero Pillars": Zero Accidents, Zero Defects, and Zero Waste.
Zero Accidents is our ambition and commitment to create and ensure safe and healthy 
workplaces by preventing all accidents and continually promoting excellence in Safety.
TCPI2 unified the Continuous Improvement Programs under a single umbrella with 
common Core Principles, Objectives, Practices, Methods, and Metrics. Now we are using 
the fully developed Pillar Maturity Matrices to build 4 milestone steps (Bronze, Silver, Gold, 
Platinum) to help us achieve world-class operation status.
In the most recent exercises, three sites, Aachen, San Jose, and Songzi, achieved the 
Bronze Level – an excellent start.
Looking Ahead
In 2022, we aim to further identify continual improvement opportunities in the area of 
health and safety, making use of the maturity matrix we have developed for the Zero 
Accidents Pillar.

We continue to look at how Lumileds can do more to remove bias, promote inclusion, and 
make sure that our employees truly have an equal opportunity to pursue their careers. 
We will further build upon our new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council in the U.S., and 
explore and understand how the learnings can be applied globally.
Next to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, we will focus our effort on deploying Flex working 
for APAC and the remainder of Europe in 2022. We will again deploy Talent & Succession 
planning, and this time we will spend more time and effort on leveraging this company-
wide process to drive meaningful and targeted employee development. Making certain 
that we further maximize its value to our employees.
Investing in Talent
Learning@Lumileds
High performance is an integral part of our culture. We aim to create a workplace that 
encourages continuous learning and development. To that end, we have introduced 
Competence Management as part of our development planning to support our 
employees in their growth. 
Competence management is the process to assess, develop, and monitor job-specific 
skills sets. In this process, each employee self-assesses and is assessed by their manager 
on a set of values-based competencies. The outcome forms the basis for development 
planning, adding specificity and rigor to this important process. 
To actively support the execution of employees’ development plans, we offer hundreds 
of relevant courses through our online learning management platform. We offer targeted 
curricula for key subjects (e.g., related to our values, products, compliance). In 2021 our 
e-curriculum was expanded to cover a more comprehensive selection of topics and offer 
higher quality learning content. 
A meaningful and rewarding place to work where you can grow 
Lumileds operates in markets where there is fierce competition for Talent. Retaining 
and attracting Talent is pivotal in our strategic priority around building a world class 
organization. In 2021, we conducted a company-wide Talent & Succession review: this 
included assessing the growth potential of almost 1300 colleagues (including middle 
and lower management) and developing succession plans for all senior-level jobs (230 
jobs). Through Talent reviews and succession planning we are better equipped to 
develop internal Talent and deal with unforeseen turnover. Among other, it provides an 
opportunity to develop potential internal replacements to be ready to take over when a 
senior-level role opens up.
Strengthening Diversity 
Lumileds is guided by a set of ethical standards, which underscores our commitment to 
build a strong and diverse slate of candidates. We believe talented and diverse employees 
provide fresh perspectives and strategic thinking, better equipping us to understand 
global markets. We approach diversity as a strength and as a critical aspect of a high 
performing organization. In 2021, Lumileds piloted a new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion 
Council in the U.S.
Diversity & Inclusion is a core value of Lumileds. In 2021, Lumileds recognized and 
celebrated two important events: Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day 
(IWD). These events were an opportunity to reflect on how to put this value into practice 
to support the over 3,500 women at Lumileds, prospective women who may choose 
to come work with us, and the countless women who make our lives better outside of 
the workplace. As part of our 2021 #WomensHistoryMonth celebration, we highlighted 
inspiring women from our global team each week of the month. The event by team 
members around the globe celebrated women’s achievements in pursuit to challenge 
inequality and create an inclusive world.
In 2019, Lumileds Malaysia (Penang) launched a project called the Hear Me Talent 
(HMT) Program, aimed at providing opportunities to individuals with disabilities (deaf 
category) by giving them an equal chance to experience a career in manufacturing. The 
program is also designed to create inclusiveness, provide a diversified environment, and 
to be a resource to others. In addition to the HMT program, Lumileds Penang improved 
site infrastructure to enhance the visibility of emergency alarm and lighting, as well as 
additional evacuation trainings conducted specially for these employees. The program 
continued in In 2021 with the hiring of seven new employees.

Communities
The activism and passion of Lumileds employees on the ground is what transforms our 
community strategy into real-world results. In 2021, Lumileds employees stepped up to 
respond – even in the face of uncertainty and adversity – to the most urgent needs within 
our communities. 
Supporting Community Initiatives 
Collaboration with our stakeholders is one of our core values. Local community 
engagement activities are reported centrally and are shared on our global intranet, THE 
HUB, to foster awareness and recognition for these initiatives. 
In total, more than 851 employee volunteer hours were dedicated to company-sponsored 
community and other charitable activities during 2021. Most of these activities were 
partnerships with local non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Examples of community 
engagements undertaken in 2021 include:
•	 Penang, Malaysia: Lumileds donated products and essential items to several 
organizations including: lighting to an orphanage center Ramakrishna Ashrama Penang; 
20 laptops to the Penang State e-learning PC program; groceries and food items to 
support households of Lumileds employees impacted by the Enhanced Movement 
Control Order (EMCO) in 13 localities around Bayan Lepas district in Penang; hand 
sanitizers to Kiwanis for children with cognitive disabilities; a monetary donation to 
SMK Bayan Lepas for the new curtain at the organization’s Science Lab; and monetary 
donation to a local elder care home. 
•	 Singapore: Lumileds participated in the Packing and Distribution of “Chinese New Year 
Gift Packs” to residents of Blk 269A/B Yishun Residents in collaboration with North West 
Community Development Council. Together with Northwest CDC and Campus Impact, 
we also participated in a virtual Christmas event to appreciate Yishun Health Workers 
for their dedication and selfless service to the community during COVID-19. 
Looking Ahead
In 2022, we will continue to engage with our local partners to support the communities 
where we operate.

In addition to our Global Code of Ethics, Lumileds’ Leadership Team is guided by our 
corporate values of innovation, quality, execution, care for customers, collaboration, 
and integrity. These values are our compass and the cornerstone of our culture. 
They guide how we work with our colleagues, customers, business partners, and 
communities, and drive the expectations that we set internally for employees. 
Together with our Global Code of Ethics, our values serve as a guide to do the right 
thing and to take actions in the best interest of our company and stakeholders 
around the world. 
Managing Our Business Responsibly 
Global Code of Ethics 
Lumileds Global Code of Ethics serves as 
a guide for employees and stakeholders 
and supports commitment to working 
in alignment with the highest ethical 
standards and our global values. The 
Code has been translated into multiple 
languages and is integrated into 
mandatory new hire trainings. 
Lumileds believes it is important to 
cultivate an open, transparent culture 
among our employees, allowing everyone 
to express, in good faith, any concern. We 
have a dedicated 24/7 Speak Up line and 
an online platform where everyone can 
express concerns, report complaints, and 
ask questions. 
Everyone should be able to raise concerns 
without fear of retaliation, knowing that 
their concern will be treated confidentially, 
seriously, fairly, and promptly. Most of 
the time, this can be done by speaking 
with a direct manager, the local Human 
Resources representative or the Legal and 
Compliance department. If an employee 
prefers to remain anonymous, they can 
contact the Lumileds Speak Up line. 
Calls to the Speak Up line are toll free 
and available 24 hours a day in all 
local languages. Telephone numbers 
for the Speak Up line are available on 
posters throughout Lumileds sites, 
on the Lumileds intranet, and on 
lumiledsintegrity.com. The Speak Up line 
serves as a whistleblowing line and is 
managed by an independent company. 
All reports are reviewed by our Legal and 
Compliance department and employees 
can be assured of objective treatment. The 
Speak Up line is operated in compliance 
with data privacy requirements and 
reports can be made anonymously (unless 
local law prescribes otherwise). 
Ethics and Employee Training 
We promote a culture of uncompromising 
ethics and integrity. Every Lumileds 
employee is educated on working in an 
ethical, honest, and compliant manner 
and he or she has received the message 
that Lumileds will not compromise when 
it comes to ethical principles. To ensure 
this ethical standard is communicated 
accurately, Lumileds has trained all 
employees on fair competition, gifts and 
entertainment standards, anti-bribery 
policies, avoiding conflicts of interest, 
complying with global trade restrictions 
and export controls, protecting data/IP/
other property, as well as Lumileds’ view 
on taking care of people and the planet. 
In 2021, all new employees were trained 
in the Code of Ethics, and all existing 
employees were required to take an 
annual refresher course. Certain qualified 
employees are required to take subject 
matter–specific trainings as well.

Responsible Supply Chain 
Our core value of integrity extends 
externally to our supply chain where we 
set strict standards for our suppliers. 
As a condition of doing business with 
Lumileds, we require suppliers to 
share our commitment to responsible 
business practices. 
We enforce this commitment through 
the Supplier Sustainability Declaration 
policy that sets standard labor, 
environmental, ethics, and health and 
safety requirements for suppliers. Our 
Supplier Sustainability Declaration is 
based on the Responsible Business 
Alliance (RBA) Version 7.0 (2021). In 
accordance with the California Supply 
Chain Transparency Act (SB 657), the 
Supply Chain Transparency statement 
provides information on our efforts 
to address the issues of slavery and 
human trafficking in the supply chain.
Our supply chain actions in 2021: 
•	 Training and capacity building: 
In 2021, we held 24 Supplier 
Sustainability Code of Conduct 
training sessions for our suppliers 
(Nine on-site and 15 online). We 
divided on-site training into two 
parts: sustainability management 
awareness for suppliers' leadership 
and capacity building for suppliers’ 
EHS/sustainability teams. 
•	 Audit: Even with the COVID-19 related 
challenges of getting on-site access to 
suppliers in 2021, we still managed to 
execute 57 audits (initial, surveillance, 
and resolving audits) at supplier sites. 
Most audits were executed by third-
party audit companies. 
•	 Audit follow up: After an audit, a 
corrective action plan is agreed to 
with the supplier. Lumileds works 
with suppliers on the improvement 
areas identified in the audit and 
follows up to provide coaching to 
suppliers until the non-conformities 
are corrected and verified. This 
also includes opportunities for 
improvement that are not identified 
as a non-conformity, and which can 
be identified through overall trends 
observed in the audit program.
•	 Supplier improvement: Specific 
focus areas are defined based on the 
audit findings, which are integrated in 
the training sessions.
Sustainability Governance
Our ability to deliver on our sustainability 
commitments many years into the future 
requires that we establish a strong 
governance framework. With that in mind, 
Lumileds has formed a Sustainability 
Board that provides executive-level 
governance for the Sustainability Program 
at Lumileds. The Sustainability Board sets 
the vision for sustainability at Lumileds, 
is responsible for our sustainability and 
EHS policies, and identifies areas for 
improvement. The Sustainability Board 
consists of Executive Team members 
representing our two Business Units, 
Operations, R&D, Quality, Human 
Resources, and Legal functions. 
Lumileds has a Sustainability Manager 
at the corporate level who oversees 
management of the ESG issues disclosed 
in this report. The Sustainability Manager 
reports into the Quality Function 
and provides periodic updates (at a 
minimum of three times per year) to the 
Sustainability Board. In addition, EHS & 
Sustainability is a fixed topic during the 
Monthly Integrated Business Operations 
Reviews (MIBOR) with the Lumileds 
Leadership Team. 
Each manufacturing site has an EHS 
Management Function and EHS 
Manager(s). The site EHS Manager(s) 
report into the Operations Function. 
The Sustainability Manager and the site 
EHS Managers communicate regularly to 
align on progress toward our corporate 
sustainability targets.
Protecting Data Privacy 
We are committed to treating the personal 
data of our business partners, customers, 
and employees with respect. We collect 
personal data in alignment with our 
business purposes and the relevant lawful 
basis, and protect it appropriately. We 
consider it important to demonstrate our 
commitment to data protection and have, 
as part of our Data Protection Compliance 
Program, filed Binding Corporate Rules 
with the Dutch Data Protection authorities.

Holding Suppliers Accountable: Monitoring and Audits 
To support supply chain responsibility efforts, Lumileds carries out selective monitoring 
by means of supplier self-assessment questionnaires and third-party audits to ensure 
suppliers fulfill their commitment. The selection of a supplier in the self-assessment or 
audit program depends on the risk profile of the supplier. A supplier’s risk profile includes 
the country risk as assessed by external sources. 
If a supplier is selected to be in the scope of the audit and accepts, the supplier will be 
enrolled in a three-year audit cycle. The audits cover all the requirements of the RBA Code 
of Conduct. The audit identifies any code violations for which a corrective action plan to 
remedy the violations is agreed upon with the supplier. Lumileds works with the suppliers 
on the improvement areas that are identified in the audit and follows up with coaching 
to suppliers until the non-conformities are corrected. This also includes opportunities 
for improvement that are not identified as a non-conformity, and which can be identified 
through overall trends observed in the audit program.
Key non-conformities identified and corrected as part of the supplier sustainability 
program in 2021 were:
•	 Fire safety exit and escape route (signs, quantity, emergency lights)
•	 Social insurance & annual leave 
•	 Chemical & hazardous wastes management 
•	 One day off every seven days week 
•	 Personal Protective Equipment and workplace safety
•	 Building structure and fire safety certification
•	 Weekly working hours 
•	 Establishment of energy conservation and emission reduction targets
•	 First aider organization, and first aid equipment.
Conflict Minerals 
Conflict minerals are natural resources that ethical companies seek to avoid purchasing 
because they have been extracted in conflict zones and are used to finance and 
perpetuate armed conflicts. 
The four most commonly mined conflict minerals are tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold. 
Each of these metals are used in the manufacturing of LEDs. As outlined in our Conflict 
Minerals Position Statement, Lumileds is committed to not purchasing raw materials, 
subassemblies, or supplies that contain conflict minerals that directly or indirectly 
finance or benefit armed groups. Lumileds also asks our suppliers to establish their own 
Conflict Minerals Policies and to only use validated smelters. Further, Lumileds supports 
organizations including the Responsible Minerals Initiative that seek to prevent minerals 
that directly or indirectly finance the DRC conflict from entering the electronics supply 
chain. 
Conflict Free Smelters and Refiners 
The Responsible Minerals Initiative helps companies make informed choices about 
responsibly sourcing minerals in their supply chains. The organization conducts 
independent third-party audits of smelter and refiner management systems and sourcing 
practices to form a comprehensive list of conformant companies. Lumileds uses this list 
to assess our suppliers and we will not work with any that use non-conforming smelters 
and refiners.
Looking Ahead
Driven by our corporate target to increase our Supplier Sustainability Compliance rate 
to 95% in 2025, we will review our supplier engagement procedures to identify areas 
for further continual improvement.
