Sustainability

    Our promise

    With the growing threat of climate change, systemic inequality and global health disparities, we recognize that following through on our sustainability goals has never been more essential. We want to enable earlier, better, and faster diagnosis and treatment for more people in need, while reducing or eliminating our impact on the environment.

    "ESG considerations are central to the GE HealthCare vision. With more than one billion patients around the worldwide touched by one of our product or care solutions annually, we recognize the important role we play in contributing toward a more sustainable world."

    Peter Arduini
