Helios's reported carbon emissions
In 2025, Helios reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4.1 billion kg CO2e, comprising 317,448,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 170,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 3,771,052,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The previous year, 2024, saw total emissions of approximately 4.0 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 351,128,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 187,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 3,751,312,000 kg CO2e. Helios's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Helios Kliniken GmbH, and is part of a broader corporate family relationship with Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, which also influences their reporting through the CDP initiative. Despite the significant emissions figures, Helios has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. The company continues to focus on transparency in its emissions reporting, although it lacks comprehensive data for certain categories, particularly in Scope 3 emissions. Overall, Helios's emissions profile reflects the challenges faced by healthcare organisations in managing their carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 categories, which often represent the largest share of total emissions.
