Social Engagement
Making sure that resources are used in the most efficient way
possible, is essential to build a resilient industry going forward.
Reducing the pressure on the planet is an important part of improv-
ing resource efficiency. At Getinge, the priority to reduce the impact
on climate builds on the link between a healthy planet and healthy
people. Getinge is increasingly putting effort into the transition
from a linear to a circular economy to reduce pressure on material
resources needed and at the same time work to reduce waste
generated by the company. To succeed with both these areas, the
company works to ensure EcoDesign of the products and to under-
stand the environmental impact of its products and services.
Getinge's Commitment
By 2025, the company aims to be carbon neutral in scope 1 & 2
emissions from production according to the GHG Protocol.
Carbon offsetting instruments (such as carbon credits) are
not used to reduce emissions, to comply with the standards of
the SBTi.
Getinge committed to the Science Based Targets initiative
in 2020. During 2022, the company targets were defined and
submitted for validation.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
& CLIMATE IMPACT
Getinge continues to increase efforts reducing its greenhouse
gas emissions and climate impact. Around 4,5% of the emissions
globally come from the healthcare system*. Climate has an impact
today on vulnerable groups in society and the healthcare industry
must be a part of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A system
level approach is needed to deliver better healthcare outcomes
with a lower carbon footprint. To Getinge, partnerships are an
important part in achieving this.
The direct greenhouse gas emissions come from Getinge's
production (Scope 1 & 2 emissions). The majority of Getinge's total
greenhouse gas emissions come from the value chain (so called
Scope 3 emissions) and in particular from the purchase of goods
and services, logistics and the use of products. Product specific
environmental impacts include energy consumption and overall
emission footprint during production, the use phase and end-of life
treatment, including waste generated by packaging materials.

Reduction of CO₂e emissions from production
Target: Reduce CO2 emissions from production in relation to
internal sales volumes (-5% by 2024 with 2019 as base year).

Progress during 2022
Investments to increase energy efficiency at production sites
included measures such as heat pumps, LED lamps and facility
insulation, as well as new production machinery. In 2022, photo-
voltaic systems to generate own electricity were implemented at
production sites in China and Turkey and similar setups are being
evaluated at more sites. The electrification of the company car
fleet continued during 2022, with challenges on the availability of
vehicles and charging infrastructure in some locations.
In regards to scope 3 emissions, the main achievement during
2022 were the analysis of all 15 categories of emissions and
establishing a baseline from 2021 to set Science Based Targets.
Main activities taken during 2022 in the scope 3 area included:
Reducing emissions from logistics
Using ocean freight instead of air freight in one of the most
frequently used logistic routes between Europe and the US.
Supply chain engagement
Getinge started an assessment and emission reduction program
with its suppliers. As a first step in this program, an assessment
survey was sent to the largest 100 suppliers to understand their
carbon ambitions and ESG maturity. Getinge also reached out to
its direct suppliers of purchasing categories driving the highest
emissions (metals, plastics and electronics) to obtain primary
environmental data on products and low emission alternatives.
