Fresenius's reported carbon emissions

Fresenius, a leading medical and precision instrument company headquartered in Germany, has demonstrated significant progress in its climate action journey. For the reporting year 2025, the company reported total global emissions of approximately 4,259 million kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 317 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 170 million kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling around 3,771 million kg CO2e. The largest contributors to Fresenius's Scope 3 emissions in 2025 were purchased goods and services (approximately 1,707 million kg CO2e) and investments (about 1,133 million kg CO2e). In 2024, Fresenius's total global emissions were approximately 4,290 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at around 351 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 187 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 3,751 million kg CO2e. Purchased goods and services remained the largest Scope 3 category, at approximately 1,635 million kg CO2e. Fresenius is committed to ambitious climate targets. The company aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2040 and has set a near-term goal to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% by 2030, using 2020 as the baseline year. Furthermore, Fresenius has stated a commitment to achieve net zero emissions across its entire value chain, including Scope 1, 2, and 3, by 2050. This long-term goal involves reducing avoidable greenhouse gas emissions by at least 90%, with any unavoidable emissions (maximum 10%) to be offset through permanent carbon removal measures. Fresenius is actively working towards these targets, with various initiatives and reporting mechanisms in place to track progress.
