Since 2021, Solventum has transitioned ten manufacturing sites across the United States, Canada, Germany, Poland and France to renewable electricity, accounting for 48% of the company’s total electricity consumption. Solventum is on track to increase this amount to 80% by 2025, a significant step towards meeting the 2030 target.
“We have a strong legacy of pioneering sustainable practices and our commitment to sourcing 100% renewable electricity is an important step as we continue to build a sustainability program for Solventum,” said Bryan Hanson, chief executive officer, Solventum. “Our commitment also aligns with our mission of enabling better, smarter, safer healthcare to improve lives since environmental health directly impacts human health.”
The transition to 100% renewable electricity is anticipated to result in a 45% reduction in scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 from the 2021 baseline year. This will deliver a carbon reduction equivalent to removing 20,000 cars from the road.
