ST.
PAUL, Minn., Oct. 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Solventum (NYSE: SOLV),
formerly 3M Health Care, today
pledges to use 100% renewable electricity across its worldwide
operations by 2030. This move highlights Solventum's commitment to
sustainability and the critical role of the healthcare industry in
addressing climate change. It also demonstrates how the company is
integrating sustainable practices in its facilities and innovating
solutions for customers.
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.
