Our commitments
Improving healthcare access for all
More than three billion people around the world still lack access to adequate medical care. At the same time, even in developed countries, where you live could determine how well you live.
We are committed to providing innovative solutions to make healthcare affordable and accessible for underserved communities.
Preserving our planet’s resources
We experience the effects of climate change and dwindling natural resources at an increasing frequency. We aim to minimize the environmental impact throughout the lifecycle of our solutions.
We are committed to driving decarbonization across our value chain, promoting circularity and developing sustainably designed products and services that also help our customers meet their targets.
Engaging our diverse Healthineers
We believe that today’s global challenges need diverse minds. Our breakthroughs are a collective team effort, resulting from consistent impact from every Healthineer.
We are committed to championing a diverse, inclusive and healthy work environment and aim to achieve human impact on a global scale.
With our new sustainability strategy, we’re taking a big step forward in leading impact for our people and the planet, creating tangible business value and bringing our purpose to life.

We work actively with our suppliers and partners, and support our customers in their environmental sustainability efforts, to employ human and environmental resources mindfully without compromising patient operations.

Amplifying our impact
We can’t do this alone
Unlocking the full potential of our employees to amplify our impact
Healthineers have a strong passion for a shared purpose to life, and the desire to personally engage on climate action as well as on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) around the world already promote sustainability, and we want to build up on these efforts.
Our employee led GREEN (Grass Roots Eco- Friendly Employee Network) teams initiate activities and promote sustainability – both at the workplace and in everyday life. Spread across the globe, they are actively involved in a range of sustainability projects aimed at reducing waste and conserving energy. Meanwhile, our employee led LGBTQIA+ ERG and Allyship initiative continues to foster a workplace where everyone can feel safe, comfortable, and valued for who they are and what they bring to the table.
