At Philips, we believe sustainable care means the world
Climate change is threatening the health and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people around the world, often hitting the most vulnerable communities earliest and hardest. At the same time, pollution is leading to increased rates of chronic disease, like asthma and cardiovascular disease.

The link between human health and environmental health is central to sustainable healthcare. It's all about delivering quality care to more people in more places, while reducing environmental impact.

Where the best care for the patient does no harm to the planet
At Philips, we continue to innovate and scale up our portfolio of energy-efficient, circular, digital and cloud-based solutions. In this way, we can help health systems address their most pressing challenges, including cost of care, staff shortages and growing health disparities, while at the same time reducing their environmental impact.

What we’re doing
Just some of the actions we’re taking to deliver environmental and social impact include:

Being the first health technology company to have its CO₂ emission reduction targets for Scopes 1, 2 and 3, assessed and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative, and in line with the 1.5 degrees global warming scenario.
Setting ambitious targets to drive sustainable and circular innovation.
Taking back our large medical equipment for refurbishment, parts harvesting or recycling as part of our Closing the loop commitment.
And with 48% of our suppliers (based on spend) now committed to science-based targets, Philips is already well on the way to achieving the 50% supplier commitment target for 2025.
