Our Annual Report with integrated Sustainability Report 2025

Our CSRD Sustainability Report which is integrated into our Annual Report 2025, has been prepared in accordance with the regulatory framework of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). It provides a comprehensive summary of our sustainability strategy, targets, policies, and actions. These extend across our material impacts, risks, and opportunities within the areas of environment, social, and governance.

Sustainability Impact 2025

The Sustainability Impact 2025 publication provides a compact summary of our sustainability strategy and highlights achievements across our pillars of impact in fiscal year 2025. It also includes an outline of our innovation and governance priorities that underpin our sustainable performance as a company.

Key achievements in fiscal year 2025

We measure our progress through key performance indicators defined for the three pillars of our sustainability commitment: Healthcare Access, Resource Preservation, and Diverse and Engaged Healthineers. These are supported by two key enablers: Volunteering and Employee-led Initiatives, and Global & Regional Partnerships. 


This year, we made credible progress in expanding healthcare access, reaching 3 billion patient touchpoints worldwide, with more than 1 billion in low- and middle-income countries. We also delivered over 5 million hours of training to healthcare professionals, supporting them to upskill and deliver high-quality care. 


Building on our commitment to resource preservation, we drove significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions in our own operations by 49%, and material Scope 3 emissions across the value chain by 4.5%. Our employee engagement scores are in the top 5% of the healthcare industry. This year, we are honored to have also been recognized as one of Fortune World’s Best Workplaces.

3 billion touchpoints

In fiscal year 2025, we reached 3 billion patient touchpoints worldwide, with over 1 billion in low- and middle-income countries. Our products and solutions have expanded impact for patients in underserved communities globally — driving early diagnosis and enabling comprehensive care especially for cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and stroke.

    Sustainability Impact 2025

    Here are a few examples that show how we are already creating impact in each of our sustainability pillars. For more examples and to see all our sustainability indicators across environmental, social, and governance areas,

    Bridging cancer care gaps in Indonesia

    Through Healthcare Access, we advance technology, overcome barriers in low-resource settings, and transform the system of care for patients who are underserved and vulnerable.

    We are making progress in increasing healthcare access in remote regions especially to address non-communicable diseases. Indonesia, for example, faces a significant breast cancer burden due to limited screening access and a shortage of experts. A total of 73% of patients are diagnosed at late stages. To address these challenges, Siloam Hospitals Group launched a free screening program in 2023, reaching over 32,000 women in high-risk areas. To help overcome the shortfall in specialists, the group uses Transpara, an AI-powered radiology decision-support tool from ScreenPoint Medical in partnership with Siemens Healthineers. It assists in reading mammograms, provides a second opinion, and reduces radiologists’ workload.

    Partnering for energy-efficient radiology

    To reduce energy consumption in radiology, University Hospital Basel in Switzerland is advancing efficiency through its long-standing partnership with Siemens Healthineers.

    The teams are identifying energy-saving opportunities — from powering down scanners overnight to refining MRI cold heads, which maintain the superconducting magnet’s temperature. The aim is to operate the systems more efficiently and lower their long-term environmental impact. A key lever is detailed energy monitoring across imaging modalities using measurement devices and log data. Results show that targeted shutdowns and smart low-energy modes are highly effective. For instance, turning off a computed tomography system whenever feasible, such as overnight or during extended idle times, can cut energy use by up to 40%.

    Uplifting others through our shared journey

    EmpowerME is our Employee Resource Group for employees navigating cancer — whether in treatment, surveillance, or survivorship. The group creates space for connection and support.

    A diverse group of people

    Through storytelling, photo shoots and advocacy days, the group brings colleagues and patients together, sparking friendships across backgrounds and roles. Participants describe these moments as life-changing reminders that our mission is deeply personal, and say they turn shared challenges into strength, compassion, and lasting impact.
