Siemens Healthineers Malaysia Wins M'sia's First Sustainability-related Accolade

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 15 (Bernama) -- Siemens Healthineers Malaysia has been recognised with the Industry Specific ESG Excellence Award (Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals) at the ESG PLUS Awards 2025, marking the company’s first sustainability-related accolade in Malaysia.

The global provider of healthcare equipment, solutions and services said the award, presented at a ceremony held at a hotel on Dec 10, reflected the company’s commitment to driving sustainable transformation within the local healthcare sector, particularly in clinical laboratory operations.

“Central to this achievement is the Atellica Solution portfolio, which has set global benchmarks for environmental performance in laboratory diagnostics. 

“Through the adoption of ACT Ecolabel-certified products and the My Green Lab certification programme, Siemens Healthineers has enabled laboratories to achieve up to 48 per cent reductions in energy consumption and up to 54 per cent reductions in water usage, while increasing operational throughput and reducing lifecycle emissions,” the company said in a statement today.

These initiatives have also enabled healthcare providers to realise measurable cost savings and environmental benefits, complemented by sustainable packaging, improved waste management practices and remote service delivery that collectively contribute to a lower carbon footprint, it added.

“Siemens Healthineers’ focus on sustainability is embedded in the company's global strategy, with a clear ambition to achieve net zero emissions across its value chain by 2050. 

“The company’s ESG framework is built on decarbonisation, circular economy and eco-design, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals,” it said.

It pointed out that in Malaysia, these principles are brought to life through collaborations with government agencies, hospitals and academic institutions as well as ongoing investment in local talent and community engagement.

“This recognition by the ESG PLUS Awards 2025 is a testament to Siemens Healthineers Malaysia’s dedication to sustainable excellence and its role as a trusted partner in advancing the nation’s healthcare ecosystem,” Siemens Healthineers said.

The company is also looking forward to building on this momentum and achieving even greater strides in sustainability in the years ahead.

Meanwhile, Siemens Healthineers Malaysia finance director Jan Tiedermann said the company has set its purpose to pioneer breakthroughs in healthcare for everyone, everywhere, sustainably. 

“This recognition reflects our commitment to integrating sustainability into every facet of our operations and innovations, ensuring that we not only advance healthcare but also do so with minimal impact and purpose,” he said.
