GE HealthCare

GE HealthCare, a US-headquartered company in the Medical, precision and optical instruments, watches and clocks industry, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6.05 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 105 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of approximately 116 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 5.71 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2024 were the use of sold products (approximately 3.60 billion kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (around 1.08 billion kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 584 million kg CO2e). Looking ahead to 2025, projected total emissions are approximately 5.92 billion kg CO2e.

GE HealthCare has set ambitious climate commitments, with its Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated goals originating from GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. Near-term targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, against a 2022 baseline. Furthermore, GE HealthCare commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, and use of sold products by 25% by 2030, also from a 2022 baseline. For long-term goals, the company intends to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 compared to its 2022 baseline. These targets are consistent with reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
