Commitment to Science Based Targets initiative
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved our near-term (10-year) science-based CO2 reduction targets at the close of 2024, and we now have company-wide emission reduction targets in line with climate science with the SBTi. We have established 2022 baselines for scopes 1, 2, and 3, and outlined CO2 reduction pathways in accordance with the Paris Agreement. These pathways are designed to align with climate science, aiming to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5°C.
We believe that with transparent, clear, and comprehensive guidance on how we count our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, others in the sector can be encouraged to do the same. We want to support all within healthcare and emergency services who would like to be more ambitious on climate change – our customers, collaborators, and even our competitors.
To support this, we have published our 2022 baseline in a climate transparency report, which has received limited assurance under ISO 14064-1 by an independent institution.
