Philips is taking action to deliver the best quality healthcare while at the same time reducing environmental impact. This means creating the best possible solutions to help healthcare providers care for patients and the planet through a unique combination of innovation, design and sustainability.'

In this way, it can help health systems address their most pressing challenges, including the cost of care and staff shortages, while at the same time reducing their environmental impact.

About the campaign

The introductory film of the campaign shows people who were once patients and helped by Philips solutions. To keep its ecological footprint as small as possible, Philips collaborated with local photographers in eleven countries to document the former patients. Philips contributed to their recovery via a wide range of productions and solutions, enabling them to return to the places in nature that are meaningful to them. The same places they longed for when they were patients.

The launch film is one element of the integrated, 360-degree campaign being activated globally in a physical and digital ecosystem.

The global campaign was developed with TBWANeboko and the Omnicom PR Group.
