How we advance the circular economy
Rising demand for healthcare, overconsumption of resources, waste and climate change are putting unsustainable pressure on our ecosystems. At the same time, global trends – including the shift to value-based care, changing consumption patterns and digital transformation – are supporting the transition to a circular economy.
Use less, use longer, use again
We focus on helping our customers ‘do more with less materials’ by applying our circularity principles – Use less, use longer, use again – across the value chain. We design sustainable solutions that use fewer virgin materials, stay in use longer, and can be recovered through refurbishment or recycling.
Circular offerings
We strive to maximize lifetime value while minimizing waste, from cloud-based options and upgrade services to take-back and refurbishment.
EcoDesign
We apply circularity from the beginning of the product lifecycle, from low-weight design and sustainable material use to longer usage lifetimes and recycle-ready design.
Sustainable operations
We manage our waste streams to support circularity, from waste prevention to recovery.
Partnerships
We partner with key stakeholders to accelerate the transition to more sustainable and equitable health systems through shared goals and the establishment of global standards.
Driving sustainable healthcare
There is a lot that we can do to help health systems reduce their environmental footprint and integrate sustainable ways of working, while supporting better health outcomes, reducing the cost of care, and advancing health equity and access to care.
