Sustainability

    Our promise

    With the growing threat of climate change, systemic inequality and global health disparities, we recognize that following through on our sustainability goals has never been more essential. We want to enable earlier, better, and faster diagnosis and treatment for more people in need, while reducing or eliminating our impact on the environment.

    GE HealthCare receives SBTi validation in June 2024

    GE HealthCare’s 2050 net-zero goal, and near-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Aligning our GHG reduction goals with climate science demonstrates our prioritization in reducing our environmental footprint to build a more sustainable future for patients, healthcare providers, our colleagues, and our other stakeholders. Our net-zero goal will be supported by ambitious near-term targets, which include a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 and 25% reduction from Scope 3 which includes purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel and use of sold products by 2030 from a 2022 baseline.
