AMN Healthcare Commits to Science-Based Targets, Leading the Charge Towards a Sustainable Future
November 11 2024 - 8:06AM
AMN Healthcare, the leader and innovator in total talent solutions
for healthcare organizations, announces it has approved near and
long-term science-based emissions reduction targets with the
Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), joining over 4,000
companies globally in the pursuit of net zero emissions. This
decisive move underscores AMN Healthcare’s dedication to
sustainability and proactive measures against climate change.
AMN Healthcare has set near- and long-term goals to
significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its
operations and value chain. With a clear alignment to global
efforts like the 2015 Paris Agreement, AMN aims to curb its
absolute scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 42.8% by 2030, based on a
2022 base year. Looking further ahead, the company is committed to
a 90% reduction in these emissions by 2050 with all residual
emissions neutralized, ultimately achieving net-zero emissions
across its value chain by the same year.
To achieve these goals, AMN Healthcare has launched several key
initiatives. An internal carbon pricing strategy has been
implemented to purchase Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) to offset
electricity usage and reduce Scope 1 emissions. A 1.5°C globally
aligned Climate Transition Plan and an internal Environmental
Policy are in development to guide the company's efforts.
Furthermore, AMN is engaging with high-impact suppliers,
incorporating environmental requirements into its Vendor Code of
Conduct to bolster the collective effort towards
sustainability.
The Science-Based Targets initiative, a collaboration among the
Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), United Nations Global Compact,
World Resources Institute (WRI), and World Wide Fund for Nature
(WWF), provides a clear pathway for businesses to reduce emissions.
This initiative plays a crucial role in guiding AMN Healthcare’s
strategies to future-proof growth and aligns with global scientific
consensus on climate action.
"We believe that businesses have a vital role in driving down
GHG emissions and building a resilient, zero-emissions economy,"
said Cary Grace, President and CEO of AMN Healthcare. "Our
commitments not only align with scientific standards but also
demonstrate our leadership and responsibility towards a sustainable
future."
As AMN Healthcare embarks on this pivotal journey, it emphasizes
transparency and accountability. The company is committed to
regularly reporting its progress through annual Sustainability
& Social Impact Reports and other publicly accessible
documents.
