singapore, 26 Sep
2012 – Royal Philips
Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), the global leader in lighting and
Jones Lang
LaSalle, (NYSE:JLL), the
global financial and professional services firm specializing in real
estate, have entered into a partnership
agreement to deliver energy-efficient lighting and energy management solutions
to all Jones Lang LaSalle clients.
This is the first time two
leaders in the corporate real estate and lighting industries are working
together on this scale to change the way commercial and industrial interiors are
illuminated with LED and energy-efficient solutions. The global agreement starts
in Asia Pacific and will be scaled up to cover the Americas , Europe, Middle East and Africa .
“Our partnership with Jones Lang LaSalle and
our extensive portfolio in lighting solutions will allow us to help drive the
adoption of energy-efficient and sustainable lighting solutions on a large scale
in the commercial real estate space,” said Harjit Gill, Chief Executive Officer
for Philips in ASEAN & Pacific. “This partnership will further demonstrate
our capabilities to manage global lighting consultancy services to maximize
value for our customers.”
Michael Raphael, Head of
Supply Chain Management and Procurement for Jones Lang LaSalle, said: “Jones
Lang LaSalle is pleased to partner with Philips to present a global lighting
solution to companies worldwide. This agreement has the potential to drive
environmental change while meeting corporate aspirations to move to LED and
other low energy options. Our partnership with Philips is an important step in
helping our clients to identify opportunities to lower energy usage, deliver
more productive workspaces and, in some cases, obtain carbon
credits.”
“The agreement can offer
energy savings of up to USD 100million a year for Jones Lang LaSalle clients in
Asia Pacific, changing the way commercial and industrial interiors are
illuminated. In Asia Pacific alone, Jones Lang LaSalle manages more than 70
million light points for over 150 corporate clients. Given the global scale of
the partnership, this has the potential to drive significant energy savings as
approximately 40 percent of electricity consumption in buildings is related to
lighting,” said Raphael.
Both companies will also
provide consultancy on energy management with intelligent lighting solutions and
controls with new and existing customers.
