Ehealth Insurance has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, and there are no documented initiatives aimed at reducing emissions. The emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, as it is reported directly by Ehealth, Inc. The company continues to operate within the healthcare insurance sector, which is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, particularly regarding Scope 3 emissions.
