Getinge's reported carbon emissions
Getinge's commitment to climate action is underscored by its comprehensive emissions reporting and ambitious reduction targets. For the 2025 reporting year, the company reported a total of approximately 610.1 million kg CO2e. This figure is broken down into Scope 1 emissions of approximately 11.7 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 3.5 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions accounted for the largest portion, totalling approximately 595.0 million kg CO2e. Within Scope 3, the use of sold products contributed approximately 326.0 million kg CO2e, and purchased goods and services amounted to approximately 187.3 million kg CO2e.
Looking at prior years, Getinge reported approximately 602.1 million kg CO2e in total emissions for 2024, with Scope 1 at approximately 13.2 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 3.9 million kg CO2e. In 2023, total emissions were approximately 633.9 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 15.5 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 3.9 million kg CO2e.
Getinge has established robust climate commitments, including a long-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. This aligns with their commitment to Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated targets. Specifically, Getinge aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 90% by 2030, using 2021 as a base year. Concurrently, they are working to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% by 2030, also from a 2021 baseline. Further long-term objectives include maintaining at least a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from 2030 through to 2050, and an ambitious 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2050 from the 2021 base year.
Additionally, Getinge has a near-term target of becoming CO2 neutral without offsetting in its own production by 2025. The company also has an intensity-based target to reduce CO2 emissions per unit of internal sales by 5% by 2024, relative to a 2019 base year, for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The company reports progress on these targets, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions in own production decreasing by 20% during 2024 compared to the previous year, partly due to the transition to renewable electricity.
