Impact in action
Our ambition is reflected in our targets and in various projects and initiatives, such as the following cases illustrate.
Transition plan
Aware of our impact, we have tracked emissions, from our own operations, such as emissions from electricity consumption or our company fleet since 2009. As a growing company, we face the challenge of decoupling our emissions from our growth. This means that we must optimise our operations and products to reduce our footprint while we grow our business.
In 2021 we joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
This commitment aligns our goals with the latest climate science and ensures that they contribute to limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Around 94% of the company’s emissions come from the extended value chain, which underscores the importance of engaging with partners and suppliers in our journey towards net-zero emissions.
To drive this effort, we have launched a Supplier Engagement Programme in our Hearing Aids business and through a similar initiative in the Diagnostics business, we succeeded in lowering emissions from transport – in 2024 both business areas reached a 16% emissions reduction from transportation.
As part of our corporate climate accounting, and aligned with the SBTi, we established a
Baseline recalculation policy, to define the situations in which our baseline emissions are required to be updated to account for significant changes.
