What does Philips receive a top rating for?

As a top rated brand, Philips receives many high scores. The Good Shopping Guide is specifically impressed with Philip’s score for our Environmental Report category.

Philips has an Annual Report with an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) section. This section contains several targets for 2025 in areas such as waste, circular economy and renewable energy.

What does Philips receive a bottom score for?

Unfortunately, Philips has some bottom scores to work on, including a bottom score for our Eco Labels category.

On the Energy Star website, (a site which considers the energy efficiency of products) some items are listed under the Philips brand. However, these products do not appear to exist on the Philips website or any major stores so it appears that this information is out of date.

What can Philips do to improve its score? 

Philips’ high score within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Televisions sector is the outcome of a calculation of multiple ethical criteria.

If Philips were to improve on its bottom score for Eco Labels, it could see its position rise even further on the Televisions Ethical Ratings Table.

As Philips already meets our minimum Ethical Benchmark, it could apply for Ethical Accreditation where it would be awarded with our logo.
