Wellspect AB, headquartered in Sweden, has set ambitious climate commitments aimed at significantly reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Although specific emissions data for the most recent year is not available, the company has established clear reduction targets. Wellspect is committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions across its entire value chain by 2045. To reach this goal, it has outlined near-term targets that include an 80% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, using 2021 as the baseline year. Additionally, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions—covering upstream transportation, waste generated in operations, and upstream leased assets—by 42% within the same timeframe. Furthermore, Wellspect plans for 74.9% of its suppliers, based on emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation, to have science-based targets by 2026. For the long term, Wellspect has set a target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 95% and Scope 3 emissions by 90% by 2045, again using 2021 as the baseline. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with the reductions necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Wellspect's commitment to sustainability reflects its proactive approach to addressing climate change within the healthcare equipment and supplies sector.
