Achievements
Improving Access to Healthcare
With at least 50% of the world’s population having no access to safe, affordable and timely healthcare services, delivering healthcare is an urgent task. Siemens Healthineers’ technologies and solutions reached 3 billion patient touchpoints worldwide in FY 2025, including over 1.1 billion patient touchpoints in low‑ and middle‑income countries. We are on track to reach our target by FY 2030. This demonstrates tangible progress towards addressing global health inequalities and supporting resilient healthcare systems.
Our commitment is underpinned by our long‑term ambition to significantly expand access to care in underserved regions, while working closely with healthcare providers to deliver efficient, affordable and sustainable diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.
In the UK and Ireland, this global commitment translates into close collaboration with NHS customers to optimise asset utilisation, improve productivity and support high‑quality patient outcomes, while aligning with NHS Long Term Plan and Net Zero objectives.
Climate Action, Carbon Reduction and Resource Preservation
In response to the urgent call from scientists to decarbonise the global economy, we are taking specific actions and pursuing a long-term climate strategy and net zero targets. Siemens Healthineers has committed to achieving net zero across our entire value chain by 2050. This also includes ambitious near-term 2030 targets. Our net-zero targets have been externally validated by the science-based target initiative (SBTi), confirming they are aligned with the 1.5°C pathway as outlined in the Paris Agreement. Our net zero targets are summarised below:
- Reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2030
- Reduce scope 3 emissions by 28% by 2030
- Reduce Scope 3 emissions by 90% by 2050
Globally, we reduced our scope 1 and 2 emissions by 127 kilotonnes of CO2e in FY 2025 compared to our base year in FY 2019. That’s 49% less greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) since 2019. In the same timeframe, our global Scope 3 emissions reduced by 4.5%. This is a clear indicator that we are well on track to reach our target. Aligning with our global science-based targets, Siemens Healthineers in the United Kingdom and Ireland have committed to being net zero by 2050. Further decarbonisation information and how we are going to achieve these targets in GB & Ireland are explained in the Carbon Reduction Plans below.
Carbon Reduction Plan Highlights
To aid our global science-based target of achieving net zero by 2050 we are actively working to reduce our emissions and carbon footprint in the United Kingdom and Ireland. We have implemented the following initiatives:
