Environmental responsibility
Signify has led the transformation and decarbonization of the lighting sector, and recently announced
its 2040 Climate Transition Plan, setting out its vision to reach net-zero by 2040. The company has
reduced GHG emissions across the full value chain by 50% since 2019 and continues to advocate for
energy efficiency and an accelerated energy transition. With the new partnership, comes a
commitment from Signify to share knowledge and expertise to support Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1
Team in developing its Climate Transition Plan.

Well-being and performance
To win in Formula One, every member of the team must perform to their full potential at every
moment. Signify’s lighting innovations will augment the team’s efforts to create optimal conditions
for drivers, engineers and team members, helping them see, feel, and perform at their best.
NatureConnect, EyeComfort and other technologies will bring the power of daylight indoors to aid
concentration with light that is comfortable for the eyes and, support the body’s natural rhythm and
ability to adjust to a challenging global schedule.
