The report highlights how Hologic’s purpose – to enable
healthier lives everywhere, every day – drives a commitment to
developing medical technology innovations that generate robust
financial returns. This business strength enables Hologic to invest
in groundbreaking programs to increase the well-being of women,
their families and their communities.
“At Hologic, we believe the best companies don’t have to choose
between sustainability and maximizing performance. As you will see
from the breadth and depth of our initiatives, each objective is
intimately connected to our business strategy because doing the
right thing is fundamental to who we are,” said Hologic Chairman,
President and CEO Steve MacMillan.
Hologic’s sustainability accomplishments in the company’s fiscal
year 2022 included:
- World-class products that save or improve patients’ lives
through early detection and treatment of breast and cervical
cancers, sexually transmitted infections, uterine fibroids,
abnormal uterine bleeding and other significant medical conditions.
Hologic’s products were estimated to have impacted more than 300
million people globally in fiscal 2022.
- Public health leadership that helped societies manage the
pandemic with accurate COVID-19 testing. Hologic has provided more
than 200 million SARS-CoV-2 tests around the world.
- The Hologic Global Women’s Health Index, a breakthrough survey
conducted annually with Gallup® that represents the views of 94% of
the female global population aged 15 and older.
- Stepped-up philanthropy, with support given to 185 groups
worldwide that advance women’s health, STEM education or social and
racial equity. These recipients included organizations helped by a
$1 million campaign for the Partners in Giving program, in which
Hologic matches employees’ donations to their chosen
nonprofits.
- A commitment to protecting the environment, with continued
targets to achieve a 15% reduction in non-hazardous/non-recyclable
waste by 2025*; attain a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2
greenhouse-gas emissions by 2030*; and accomplish the following
milestones for Hologic-owned properties: reach 40% reliance on
self-generated renewable energy by 2030 and convert to 75%
renewable electricity by 2035.
- Prominent collaboration with trusted, influential partners to
amplify Hologic’s championing of women: the World Economic Forum,
the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), women’s health advocate and
entertainment icon Mary J. Blige, and journalist and breast cancer
survivor Katie Couric.
In the past year, Hologic’s sustainability impact was a key
reason the company received recognition from the Drucker Institute,
Dow Jones, Fast Company, the Shingo Institute, LinkedIn, Newsweek,
The Boston Globe and The San Diego Union-Tribune.
