We are reducing the ecological footprint
Fostering environmental stewardship across our value chain
With a clear vision for 2030, we are dedicated to driving patients’ health and independence while to increasing our positive impact on the environment and fostering proactive environmental stewardship.
By 2030
we will significantly reduce our GHG emissions, introduce circular principles, and reduce waste impact.
We reduce greenhouse gas emissions internally but also along the entire value chain
We embrace circular principles across existing and new products to reduce environmental impact
We decrease waste generation while also increasing the share of recycled waste
By 2025
100% New products adhering to eco-design principles
80% Operational waste recycled
-30% Reduction of environmental impact per device
By 2030
-20% Operational waste
-30% Reduction of environmental impact per device
100% Renewable energy
-42% Reduction of absolute direct (Scope 1) and indirect (scope 2) greenhouse gas emissions from a 2022 base year
-51.6%Reduction of indirect (scope 3) greenhouse gas emissions per Mio. units sold from a 2022 base year.
Our commitment is to achieve a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions across our value chain. This will be accompanied by the integration of circular design principles into new products, as well as the minimization of waste generated by our operations. Our initiatives are geared towards making a measurable impact on our environmental footprint. We are achieving this through environmental life cycle assessments (LCA) of our products. Moreover, we are actively curbing plastic consumption by promoting reusability and adopting innovative, eco-friendly plastic materials such as bio-based plastics and recycled variants.
GHG EMISSIONS
We actively pursue a profound reduction in emissions with a clear target set for the year 2030. Simultaneously, a decisive shift towards utilizing 100% renewable energy sources by the same year is underway. These intertwined objectives underline a steadfast dedication to combating climate change and embracing a sustainable energy future.
Dedication to sustainable practices and environmental responsibility
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
By 2025, it is our target to ensure that 100% of new products strictly adhere to sustainable design principles. Moreover, we set the goal to achieve a 30% reduction in environmental impact from each device by the year 2030. These dual objectives reflect a significant commitment to sustainable practices, aiming to harmonize product innovation with environmental responsibility.
