Environmental Sustainability

LivaNova integrates sustainability into the way we operate, manage risk, and create long-term value. We integrate climate and sustainability considerations into risk management and decision-making among other things to strengthen the resilience of our operations and supply chain, and support long-term growth. We also strive to minimize the negative environmental and social impact within the communities where our manufacturing plants and commercial facilities operate.

Through a structured, governance‑led approach LivaNova considers environmental impacts across manufacturing, operations, and the product lifecycle focusing on energy use, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and waste management. Our sustainability efforts are supported by a cross-functional governance structure, including the Sustainability Team, Sustainability Delivery Groups, the Sustainability Task Force, and other cross-functional teams and business leaders across various functions of the organization. Our priorities are guided by regulatory requirements, customer expectations, and industry standards, strengthened through engagement with trade associations such as AdvaMed, MedTech Europe, Association of British HealthTech Industries (ABHI), and Medical Technology Association Australia (MTAA).

Achieving Net Zero Carbon Emissions

LivaNova has committed to achieving Net Zero GHG emissions by 2050 and has set interim GHG emissions reduction targets to meet by 2033, as outlined below:

  • Scope 1 and scope 2: 54.6% reduction by 2033 from a 2022 baseline year, based on limiting warming to 1.5°C aligned pathway; and
  • Scope 3: 27.5% reduction by 2033 from a 2022 baseline year, based on limiting global warming to well-below 2°C aligned pathway.

For further details on LivaNova’s methodologies and approach to monitoring GHG emissions, as well as progress against these targets is incorporated within the Company’s Greenhouse Gas Report within the UK Annual Report and Carbon Reduction Plan.

Climate Initiatives

Climate Initiatives

LivaNova continues to integrate sustainability into the Company’s governance structures, decision-making processes, and operational practices to support decarbonization and the commitment to achieving Net Zero GHG emissions by 2050. Examples of recent progress include: 

  • Since January 2025, renewable energy certificates with guarantees of origin have been procured for 100% of the electricity consumed at the Mirandola manufacturing site, LivaNova site management operations in Saluggia, and Milan administrative office. LivaNova’s manufacturing sites in Munich and Houston continued to purchase renewable energy certificates with guarantees of origin, which in 2025 covered 100% of the electricty consumed at the site in Munich and 99% of the electricity consumed at the site in Houston;
  • Throughout 2025, LivaNova continued to mature the automation of GHG emissions data using a third-party software, which was implemented in 2024 to manage GHG emissions data, related controls, and disclosure preparations. LivaNova is completing the first reporting cycle of scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions using the software for FY 2025, and will proceed to incorporate scope 3 as a next phase;
  • In 2025, LivaNova maintained certifications for ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) for manufacturing sites in Mirandola and Munich, and administrative offices in Gloucester and Milan;
  • LivaNova continues initiatives to increase recycling and reduce waste to landfill* at LivaNova’s sites;
  • LivaNova continues to progress initiatives to optimize packaging, to reduce material use, GHG emissions, and costs. In 2025, LivaNova launched initiatives across cardiopulmonary equipment and neuromodulation devices to reduce packaging material, emissions, freight costs, and increase customer benefits through lower packaging volume and shorter installation time;
  • In 2025, LivaNova initiated a lifecycle assessment pilot for a cardiopulmonary disposable to identify opportunities to reduce waste streams and material usage;
  • LivaNova continues to add hybrid vehicles to the European fleet; and
  • In 2025, LivaNova continued to expand the installation of charging points for electric vehicles, which are currently active at the Company’s manufacturing sites in Houston, Mirandola, and Munich, supporting those employees and visitors who commute using electric vehicles.
