Eakin Healthcare is proud to announce its commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), reinforcing its dedication to environmental sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This commitment marks a significant step in the company’s broader sustainability strategy, aligning its business operations with the global effort to limit climate change to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

By joining SBTi, Eakin Healthcare pledges to set science-based emissions reduction targets in line with the Paris Agreement and its own commitment to being net-zero by 2045, with an interim target for their scope 1 and 2 emissions to be carbon neutral by 2030. This initiative underscores the company’s proactive approach to corporate responsibility, ensuring that its sustainability efforts are measurable, credible, and impactful.

As a leading manufacturer in the healthcare industry, Eakin Healthcare recognises the importance of reducing its environmental impact. By integrating science-based targets into its sustainability roadmap, the company will work to minimise carbon emissions across its operations, supply chain, and product lifecycle.

“This commitment to SBTi is a crucial milestone in our sustainability journey,” said Padraic Dempsey, CEO at Eakin Healthcare. “As a responsible healthcare manufacturer, we understand our role in creating a healthier planet for future generations. We are dedicated to implementing tangible, science-backed actions to reduce our environmental footprint.”

By aligning with SBTi targets, Eakin Healthcare joins industry leaders like GE Healthcare, Abbott, and Boston Scientific in spearheading positive environmental change within the healthcare sector.

Over the coming months, Eakin Healthcare will work closely with SBTi to develop and validate its emissions reduction targets. The company will also continue to engage with stakeholders, employees, and partners to embed sustainable practices across all aspects of its operations.
