How Philips is Helping Hospitals Cut Medical Equipment Emissions and Boost Energy Efficiency

Philips is transforming healthcare by focusing on energy efficiency and emissions reduction. The Dutch tech giant is collaborating with hospitals to redesign medical equipment and processes, aligning with its goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045.

By adopting EcoDesign principles, Philips is reducing energy consumption, using sustainable materials, and prioritizing durability. Innovations like MRI magnets that use less helium have already saved millions of liters of the scarce gas. The company is also driving circular business models, with plans to generate 25% of revenue from equipment upgrades and takeback programs.

A new Energy Star requirement for imaging equipment is pushing for even greater energy efficiency across the sector. Philips is helping hospitals meet these standards by offering solutions that lower energy consumption, such as optimizing idle times in radiology machines. In partnerships with organizations like Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Philips is reducing energy waste.

These efforts aren’t just good for the planet—they’re also lowering healthcare costs. Philips is proving that sustainable practices in healthcare can drive both environmental and financial benefits.
