Baseline Year: 2023
Invacare, a global leader in the medical device industry, is committed to environmental stewardship across its operations worldwide. Our mission is to achieve environmental excellence by integrating sustainable practices into our manufacturing, distribution, service and administrative activities. We aim for continuous improvement to comply with evolving environmental regulations and work closely with government agencies to ensure compliance.

Beyond regulatory compliance, we focus on product stewardship and sustainability. We are committed to Carbon Neutrality by 2045
Figures are provided for UK entity only.
Due to a local complexity at our manufacturing site in Pencoed, we are unable at this stage to report our scope 2 baseline figures. We are working with our Landlord (Welsh Government) to enable us to separate the energy usage for our unit within the site where we are co-located with other businesses. We are confident a solution can be found in the next 12 months and provide more accurate emission for scope 1.
During Year 2024 we established that not all contributors would be able to supply us with suitable data for Scope 3. We are currently going through a process of engaging with our suppliers of upstream and downstream activities to looking how they and we share information and mapping the infrastructure and tools required to enable to us to record emissions and monitoring for future reporting.
