In 2023, Helios reported total carbon emissions of approximately 85,321,830 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 18,803,220 kg CO2e for Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of around 104,125,040 kg CO2e. This marks a reduction from 2022, where emissions were approximately 90,609,700 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 19,547,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, leading to a total of about 110,156,400 kg CO2e. Helios's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Helios Kliniken GmbH, and is further influenced by the corporate family relationship with Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, which provides additional context for their emissions reporting. Despite the reported reductions, Helios has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for future focus in their sustainability strategy. Overall, Helios's commitment to reducing carbon emissions reflects a growing awareness of climate impact within the healthcare sector, although further transparency and target-setting could enhance their sustainability profile.
