Advance sustainable practices throughout the product lifecycle

We continue to reimagine the life of our products and their components: from product manufacturing, sourcing, distribution, installation, and service operations, product reuse, and refurbishment strategies, along with recycling options at the end of product life.

Programs

ECD and Circularity

Our environmental conscious design (ECD) and Circularity strategies aim to improve product environmental sustainability.

Environmentally Conscious Design

Our ECD team oversees the development and manufacturing of new products and services. Working with product teams across the company, this team strives to enhance energy efficiency and develop GHG emissions reduction plans across business lines.

Circularity

Our Lifecycle Solutions team manages programs to extend the life of the GE HealthCare imaging equipment that our customers already own. It also manages predictive and remote repairs to their devices. When our customers choose to replace their systems, in many cases, we refurbish, resell, or harvest the systems for parts.

Sustainable Procurement

GE HealthCare is committed to responsible sourcing practices and uses targeted supplier training and assessment tools to advance sustainability across the value chain. We actively integrate sustainability into our purchasing decisions and collaborate with our suppliers to co-create sustainable value.

“Our commitment to a circular economy means designing products and solutions that maximize their useful life, enable reuse, and support regeneration. By embedding circular principles into design, we conserve resources today—helping preserve health and well-being for generations to come.”
