Signify, formerly known as Philips Lighting, has partnered with Toa Payoh East Community Club to enhance energy efficiency in Singapore by distributing over 2,000 energy-efficient Philips LED light bulbs to 770 low-income households in Toa Payoh East. The initiative, aimed at promoting sustainability and reducing energy consumption, commenced on 23 March and will continue on 12 April.
The distribution effort is spearheaded by Saktiandi Supaat, Adviser to Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC Grassroots Organisations, and Chandra Vaidyanathan, Managing Director of Signify Singapore and President of Consumer Commercial AMEA. A team of Signify employees is also involved, assisting with the collection and recycling of old light bulbs to minimise electronic waste.
Residents have responded positively to the initiative, appreciating the improved lighting in their homes. The project not only aims to brighten living spaces but also to contribute to a Green and Resilient Singapore by reducing energy consumption.
The initiative’s success underscores the importance of community collaboration in achieving environmental goals. As the project progresses, it is expected to further raise awareness about energy efficiency and sustainable living practices amongst residents.
