Company Commits to Renewable Energy Transition by End of 2025

By the close of 2025, the company intends to source 100% of its power and heating from renewable sources. This goal supports their Ambition Zero Carbon strategy, which focuses on expanding access to clean energy and decarbonizing healthcare. The company developed a scoring system, based on Climate Groups' RE100 criteria, to assess and ensure the quality of renewable energy sources. Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in Sweden, the UK, and the US will cover the majority of the company's electricity needs. A ten-year PPA with Statkraft will provide 200 GWh annually from three new Swedish wind farms. The company also invests in solar installations across 20 global sites. Biomethane serves as a sustainable heating source in the US, UK, China, and Ireland, reducing carbon emissions. Through initiatives like the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) and the Energize program, the company collaborates with global partners. These partnerships accelerate the shift to carbon-neutral healthcare systems and facilitate large-scale renewable energy procurement for suppliers. The company's efforts demonstrate a commitment to environmental sustainability within its operations and across the broader healthcare ecosystem.
