Introduction Transforming care Investing in our people Accelerating possibilities Protecting the environment Creating value responsibly Appendix Overview and 2022 highlights our science-based net-zero target, making us one of the first in our sector to do so. This approval will help guide us on a path Policies and related links We took action to protect the environment throughout our toward net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across our entire business and value chain. Our teams worked to mitigate climate value chain by 2050. Through collaborations and partnerships Global Energy Management risks while setting ambitious new targets for further reducing our with suppliers and customers, we will work together to advance System Policy environmental impact. We achieved 76% renewable electricity1 meaningful change for a healthier planet. Environment, Health & Safety Policy 2 and remained on track for carbon neutrality (scope 1 and 2) in Environmental Data Verification all our manufacturing and key distribution sites by 2030. In 2022, 1 Purchased electricity matched with electricity from renewable sources, inclusive of all the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the predominant manufacturing and key distribution sites only. 2 Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Scope 2 emissions third-party, net-zero target assessment organization, approved are indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy. Why it matters When we take action to protect the planet and confront climate change, we reduce our environmental impact, improve the sustainability of our supply chain and help to mitigate climate risks to the business. As a result of our activity, we contribute to healthier patients and communities — and more successful economies around the world. 39 2022 Performance Report
