Quality Policy
"Philips is to become a Lifestyle and Healthcare Company, our
purpose being to improve the quality of life. No more, no less.
What is quality of life? For Philips, it means this: using technology
to advance convenience, pleasure, safety and health, both at work
and at home. Philips wants to distinguish itself from other companies
by demonstrating that it understands better than others how people
