In 2022, Quiron Salud reported total carbon emissions of approximately 132.5 million kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 37.0 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 55.8 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions accounted for around 39.7 million kg CO2e. Quiron Salud's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Quirónsalud, and is part of a broader corporate family relationship with Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, which influences their climate commitments and reporting practices. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate strategy, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability efforts. Overall, Quiron Salud's emissions reflect the healthcare sector's challenges in managing carbon footprints, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which often encompass a significant portion of total emissions.
