Signify, formerly known as Philips Lighting, has partnered with Toa Payoh East Community Club to donate over 2,000 energy-efficient Philips LED light bulbs to 770 low-income households in Toa Payoh East. The initiative, part of Signify’s commitment to a greener Singapore, began on 23 March and will continue on 12 April, led by Saktiandi Supaat, Adviser to Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC Grassroots Organisations, and Chandra Vaidyanathan, Managing Director of Signify Singapore.
The project not only aims to brighten homes but also to significantly reduce energy consumption, with potential savings of up to 90% for residents. Each household will receive three LED bulbs, replacing conventional lighting and contributing to energy efficiency. The initiative also includes the collection and recycling of old bulbs to minimise e-waste.
Saktiandi Supaat expressed gratitude for the donation, highlighting its positive impact on the community. “This initiative will have a significant impact on the lives of residents,” he stated. Chandra Vaidyanathan added, “At Signify, we believe in the power of light to positively impact lives and uplift local communities.”
This effort aligns with Signify’s ‘Brighter Lives, Better World 2025’ commitment and the People’s Association vision of fostering a caring community. As Signify continues to support local communities, the initiative underscores the company’s dedication to sustainability and social responsibility.
