Sustainable healthcare at our core

At Arjo, sustainability is in our DNA. Ever since our founder Arne Johansson designed a series of innovative equipment for patient transfers, we have devoted our energy to improving the conditions for mobility within the healthcare sector. Thus, we make more high quality care available to more people, thereby contributing to a sustainable healthcare system that meets increasing global needs.

"Sustainability is integrated in our work process - and we are convinced that our long-term success can only be realized by assuming responsibility for social, ethical and environmental aspects. The Arjo Management Team and Board of Directors are involved in the planning, implementation and evaluation of strategic directions moving forward, and our cross-functional teams are devoted to achieving our sustainability goals.”

Arjo’s target is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the company’s own operations (scope 1 and 2) by 50 percent by 2030, with 2021 as the base year.

 

For emissions in the value chain (scope 3), our target is to reduce emissions for the most material categories by 25 percent by 2030, with 2021 as the base year.

 

 

Scientifically validated targets
