Bangkok Dusit Medical Services

In 2023, Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (BDMS) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 184,210,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 15,690,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 84,310,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Notably, Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher, amounting to about 2,000,000,000 kg CO2e, primarily from purchased goods and services. Over the years, BDMS has shown fluctuations in its emissions. In 2022, total emissions were around 242,541,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions contributing 33,688,000 kg CO2e and 208,852,000 kg CO2e, respectively. The trend indicates a complex relationship between operational changes and emissions, with a notable increase in Scope 3 emissions in 2023. Despite the substantial emissions figures, BDMS has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The organisation's emissions intensity, measured in terms of revenue, has been reported, but no specific strategies for emissions reduction have been disclosed. Overall, BDMS's emissions profile reflects the challenges faced by healthcare organisations in managing their carbon footprint, particularly in the context of increasing operational demands and supply chain complexities.
