Climate impact

Ambea works actively to achieve climate-smart care. This means that we are reducing the climate and environmental impact of our activities, such as travel and transportation, food and waste, and properties and energy use. We collaborate with costumers, suppliers and property owners to develop joint solutions that reduce our GHG emissions. This is how we contribute to care that is sustainable for people and the environment.

Climate targets 2019–2025

We have reduced our emissions per unit of revenue by 46 per cent since 2019, a 2 percentage point improvement since 2024. The target was a reduction of 50 per cent by 2025. Although we have not yet achieved this, we have made significant progress in the right direction. We are now building on this experience and continuing our efforts to reduce our emissions in our own operations and across the value chain.

Science based targets

During 2025, we had our updated climate targets approved by the international organisation Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). It is scientific confirmation that the Group’s emission targets are in line with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target

Focus on measures with the greatest impact

Most of our GHG emissions comes from Scope 3 categories such as food, energy, consumables and transportation, accounting for approximately 90 per cent of our emissions. For 2025, Ambea’s total emissions, including employee commuting, amounted to 58,615 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (tCO2e).

Reporting in accordance with CSRD

Our sustainability strategy is based on a double materiality assessment, through which we identify the issues that are most relevant to our operations and stakeholders. We also align our reporting with the EU’s sustainability reporting framework (CSRD), which strengthens transparency and comparability in our reporting.

Our priority areas:

  • Climate change: Emissions and adaptation of our
    operations to climate change.
  • Our employees: Health and safety, inclusion and skills
    development.
  • Costumers: Safety, security and quality for our care
    receivers, their loved ones and our clients.
  • Business conduct: Responsible and ethical business
    relations, prevention of corruption and bribery, and
    protection for whistle-blowers.
