In 2025, the largest contributors to Netcare's Scope 3 emissions were:ab
In 2025, Netcare reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 35,286 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 1,527 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 23.11 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Netcare reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 23.11 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 9.14, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Netcare ranked 22 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places Netcare among the least efficient performers, with one of the highest emissions intensities in its sector.a
In 2025, Netcare reported a total carbon footprint of 767,472 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 3.18% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Netcare's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 72.7% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 22.7%.a
