Corporate social responsibility
At MMD, we believe that sustainable innovation, responsible sourcing, and social impact are essential to the future of display technology. Our approach to product development includes energy-efficiency design, increasing recycled material content, and supplier compliance with RoHS substance restrictions. As part of TPV Europe Holding B.V., our product development process includes energy-efficiency requirements, recycled material targets, and compliance with EU eco-design regulations.
MMD reports annually on environmental performance targets set at TPV Group level. Our environmental approach focuses on reducing energy consumption in monitor use, improving recycled material content, and aligning with EU regulatory requirements including EmpCo (Directive (EU) 2024/825). See the 2025 Sustainability Report below for specific metrics.

In 2025, we conducted a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) at TPV Europe level to identify the most relevant environmental, social, and governance topics. This assessment is an important step in our preparation for upcoming European regulations, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD).
The DMA findings inform our product development priorities, supplier requirements, and reporting targets. Full findings are available in the 2025. Sustainability Report. Since our world is facing environmental challenges and as we seek to meet our customers’ demands, we as a company, will continue to invest in the best research and development to ensure our products meet the highest standards.
At the heart of our activities are our people. We are proud of them and we are committed to ensure they are treated fairly and can work in safe, healthy conditions – not just to meet rules and regulations, but because we believe that we are a better company when this happens.
”We believe that the whole industry needs to fundamentally rethink product development and business models.”
— Stefan van Sabben, Global CSR & Sustainability Director
“We are introducing circular thinking across our entire company strategy, resulting in more sustainable designs, features, and packaging.”
— Artem Khomenko, Head of Product Management

Message from the Vice President Europe
The world continues to face far-reaching environmental and societal challenges. From the escalating climate crisis—2024 again marked one of the hottest years on record—to rising energy costs and increasing raw material scarcity, the pressure on industries to rethink and redesign their processes is growing fast. At the same time, the global e-waste problem is becoming harder to ignore, underscoring the need for more circular and responsible product lifecycles.
At AOC and MMD (Philips Monitors), we remain committed to improving sustainability across our full value chain. That means going beyond product performance: we focus on the sourcing of responsible materials, reducing packaging and plastic waste, designing for energy efficiency, and supporting end-of-life recovery.
Many of our monitors now meet leading international sustainability standards such as TCO Certified, EPEAT+, and ENERGY STAR. Last year, both brands were recognised as EPEAT Climate+ Champions—an achievement that reflects the strength of our long-term commitment.
We track energy efficiency improvements and recycled material content year on year. We continue to embed circular design principles into product development, packaging, and supply chain as you can see in our 2025 Sustainability Report.
Stefan Sommer
Vice President Europe, TPV (AOC & Philips Monitors, IT Accessories)
