    Growing societal impact — when we act sustainably

    Published on July 17, 2026
    When we act sustainably, we create impact for people and the planet — today and for generations to come. From bringing mobile healthcare solutions to underserved communities to enabling healthcare providers worldwide to combine clinical excellence, cost-efficiency, and sustainability. These three examples show how we are improving healthcare access for all and preserving our planet's resources.

    Providers are rethinking how healthcare is delivered.

    With healthcare contributing to around 5% of global emissions, providers are rethinking how care is delivered — seeking smarter, more efficient ways to manage workflows, equipment, and infrastructure. By making energy consumption visible, they can identify inefficiencies and optimize performance without compromising care.

    This approach is already delivering measurable impact for many healthcare providers: reducing energy use, lowering emissions, and improving efficiency — while enhancing patient care.

    Mobile healthcare solutions are bringing essential diagnostics directly into underserved communities.

    Access to quality healthcare should never depend on where you live, yet globally, distance and limited resources continue to delay diagnosis and care. Mobile healthcare solutions are helping address this challenge by bringing essential diagnostics closer to underserved communities — enhancing access, reducing travel burdens, and supporting earlier detection and timely care for those who need it most.

    Giving imaging systems a second life — with quality, safety, and trust built into every step.

    Healthcare systems face increasing pressure from climate change and resource scarcity. Circular approaches provide a solution by extending the life of medical technologies and minimizing resource use. Giving imaging systems a second life through repair, refurbishment, and reuse preserves valuable materials while maintaining high standards of quality, reliability, and patient care.
