4.2 How we create value
Understanding and meeting peoples needs
Building upon our long history of innovation, we take a systematic approach to value creation. Our starting point is
always to understand the specific challenges local people face whether they be a doctor, a real estate developer, a
hospital director, a city planner, a consumer, etc.

Having gained these deep insights, we then apply our innovative competencies, strong brand, global footprint and
talented, engaged people often in value-adding partnerships to deliver solutions that meet these needs. Making
the world healthier and more sustainable.

To measure the impact our solutions are having around the world, we have developed our independently verified Lives
Improved model. We take a two-dimensional approach social and ecological to improving peoples lives. Products
and solutions that directly support the curative (care) or preventive (well-being) side of peoples health, determine the
contribution to the social dimension. The contribution to the ecological dimension is determined by means of our Green
Product portfolio, such as our energy-efficient lighting.
