Programs
Our road to net zero
We take the view that every ton counts and, to achieve our Scope 1 & 2 goal, we have focused our operational strategy around these pillars.
Facility reductions
Deploy energy efficiency measures and reduce direct greenhouse gas emissions. Efficiency projects implemented in prior years to replace and optimize equipment resulted in reductions achieved in 2023.
Fleet efficiency
We have a global fleet of over 12,000 vehicles, of which the largest proportion are for installation and servicing of hospital equipment. We continue to optimize our vehicle use and extend our transition to electric vehicles.
Renewable energy
Our emissions reduction strategy includes transitioning to renewable energy sources and increasing our purchase of renewable energy. In 2024, we increased our use of renewable energy to XX% through a mix of onsite generation, purchase of green retail energy, and Renewable Energy Certificates, where appropriate.
Scope 3 approach
We are focused on four categories to drive our Scope 3 emissions reductions.
Use of sold products: Improving the energy efficiency of our equipment, transitioning to anesthetic gases with lower global warming potential, and educating customers about the optimal use of the equipment.
Upstream transportation: Using lower-carbon transportation modes when practical, such as replacing short-haul flights with road transport, transitioning air freight to ocean, and looking for opportunities to load-share and source materials more locally.
Purchased goods and services: Collaborating with 70% of our largest suppliers by spend through the EcoVadis platform to reduce GHG emissions across our supply chain.
Business travel: Examining alternatives to short-haul business class flights, assessing more direct options to long-haul routes, and improving education and awareness.
Biodiversity
We strive to protect and restore biodiversity in communities in which we operate.
Resource conservation
We aim to conserve natural resources through more efficient use and reduced dependence.
Pollution
Pollution prevention and management are integrated into our EHS and Sustainability Policy, EHS Management System, and EHS Framework.
