Siemens Healthineers on track to reach sustainability goals for fiscal year 2025

Effective partnerships with e.g. UNICEF for a project in sub-Saharan Africa, the Stroke International Services (SIS) in Vietnam, non-profit organization “Xingu Mais Catu” in Brazil on bringing diagnostic services to Amazonia. 

The new-generation scanners MAGNETOM Free.Max and MAGNETOM Free.Star, with excellent image quality, can increase access to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in developing countries and rural regions. They require less than one liter of liquid helium to maintain their cool temperature, have lower energy consumption and are cost-efficient.

Through digitalization and AI, Siemens Healthineers improves quality of care for individuals and furthers efficiencies within the healthcare delivery system. The company focuses on three key technologies: digital twin, smart sensing technology and robotics. An concrete example is NAEOTOM Alpha², the world’s first CT scanner equipped with a photon-counting sensor. Photon-counting CT has the potential to advance medical diagnostics toward precise, noninvasive diagnosis in cardiology, pulmonology, oncology, and emergency medicine.

Artificial intelligence (AI) based solutions generate valuable patient insights and allow for more targeted and personalized patient interventions. AI is an important tool for lowering cost of care through standardization and automation and is essential for enabling access to high-quality care in remote and underserved regions.

Siemens Healthineers has defined CO₂ reduction targets that are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). For example, carbon-neutral operation has been introduced as a global standard for all new buildings. The three new sites in Forchheim (Germany), Bangaluru (India), and Oxford (UK) are part of this commitment already. Furthermore, over 5,000 ecoline devices from Siemens Healthineers that address circular economy are installed at customer sites around the globe.

By providing working conditions that are compatible with different life models, we strengthen our talents within our company. Through awareness and empowerment, Siemens Healthineers improves gender equality by increasing the share of women in senior management positions. 

Siemens Healthineers is one of three major DAX companies that have a balanced ratio of men and women on the managing board.

The Healthineers Forum, a fortnightly employee survey for all, provides an anonymous, voluntary, and consistent way for employees of Siemens Healthineers to discuss what is on their minds and the challenges they face in their daily work. It creates space for employees to give feedback and engage in collaborative, confidential dialogue with their managers. The Employee Engagement Index based on that is calculated by an independent third-party provider. The index determines the employee engagement level or percentile rank within the healthcare sector⁴.
