Dialysis care depends on energy, water, and operational resilience. In 2025, our climate targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Alongside our 2030 targets for scope 1 and 2, as well as scope 3 targets, we adopted a long-term net-zero target for 2050 covering scopes 1, 2, and 3.

Against our baseline year 2020, we have reduced over 29% of the emissions footprint of our own operations (scope 1 and 2), and are on track to meet our 2030 target to reduce these emissions by 50% over this timeframe. This year, we are reporting progress against our 2030 scope 3 targets for the first time.

We advanced energy-efficiency initiatives at production sites and expanded renewable electricity sourcing. In 2025, we completed more than 90 environmental projects as part of our Green & Lean initiative at our production sites to prevent greenhouse gas emissions, save water and energy, and improve recycling and reuse of waste. These actions support efficiency in resource use while strengthening operational resilience.

Sustainable healthcare depends on the people who deliver it. Our refreshed company values ‘We care. We connect. We commit’ and cultural behaviors align more directly with the priorities of our new FME Reignite strategy. Building on insights drawn from structured employee input that included 70 focus groups with approximately 300 employees in 19 countries. Through regional workshops, leadership discussions, and targeted focus sessions across functions and levels — we clarified the behaviors that shape how we collaborate, make decisions, and take ownership day-to‑day. These refreshed values are being embedded into leadership development, performance management, and our daily ways of working.
