Why is Energy Management important?
Energy consumption — primarily the combustion of fossil fuels — makes up well over half of the healthcare sector’s climate footprint. As one of the world’s largest healthcare groups, we have a responsibility to reduce the impact our operations have on climate change. With the high energy intensity of our hospitals, one of our first priorities is to take concrete steps to improve energy management.
We set both interim and long-term goals to steer our actions as a group today and tomorrow towards creating a better, sustainable future for the planet.
- Interim Targets
- To cap Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions at 2022 baseline level by 2025, inclusive of our growth
- To reduce year-on-year Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon intensity per patient bed-day
- To begin the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitment process by 2025
- Long-term Target
- To achieve Net-Zero emissions by 2050
