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, and we are embedding sustainable principles into the core of our business as we seek to create a world where healthcare has no limits."
