We achieved this by securing multiple virtual power purchase agreements in the US and Europe over the past five years — offsetting our global energy consumption with renewable solar and wind power. This milestone was one of multiple environmental goals DaVita established five years ago and has met in the time since. This marks an important step in DaVita’s long-term sustainability journey. **Our Journey to Net Zero** In addition to our near-term, self-identified goals, we are committed to net-zero scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050. These are emissions related to DaVita's operations. We call this commitment our Journey to Net Zero, and have focused our action plan in three critical areas: Image ![Energy infographic highlighting DaVita’s plans pursuing net zero, including increasing our energy efficiency, reducing our reliance on carbon-intensive fuels through electrification, and continuing to pursue the goal of powering all global operations with 100% renewable energy even as we grow.](https://3blcdn.com/2026-08/net-zero_DaVita_082726_1787866564.png) **Science-Based Climate Goals** A review by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) verifies our climate targets are in line with the scale of reductions required to keep global warming from rising more than 1.5 degrees Celsius from pre-industrial levels. Our many energy efficiency initiatives and clean energy investments have driven notable progress to date. > 81% reduction of scope 1 and 2 emissions, as of December 31, 2025, as compared to a 2018 baseline.

We achieved this by securing multiple virtual power purchase agreements in the US and Europe over the past five years. Through these agreements, we now offset our global energy consumption with renewable solar and wind power. **Energy Efficiency** DaVita has been focused on energy efficiency improvements for over a decade. These include efficient LED lighting systems and smart building controls. We also upgrade water heaters and HVAC units to high-efficiency systems whenever replacements are required. As a result of our systematic approach to upgrades, the majority of our U.S. centers now have these energy efficient features. **Continued Progress in Electrification** In 2023, we were proud to announce the launch of our first ever net-zero dialysis center featuring all electric systems and solar power. In 2025 we continued to build on this progress by replacing gas-fired roof top HVAC units with heat pumps in select facilities — another step toward scaled adoption of higher-efficiency equipment. **Vendor Engagement** DaVita encourages its suppliers to set meaningful climate goals. By the end of 2025, 71% of vendors, by emissions, had publicly stated science-based targets. **Water Stewardship** Access to clean, fresh water is essential to the dialysis process, and we are committed to being good stewards of this resource. In 2025, we utilized a targeted Top Water Users reduction program to identify and address areas with the greatest room for efficiency improvement. We also continued ongoing work to upgrade reverse-osmosis water purification systems to newer, more efficient models to reduce water consumption in our clinics. Through these initiatives, we saved more than 90 million gallons of water in 2025 and 468 million gallons from 2021 to 2025, greatly surpassing our publicly reported goal of saving 240 million gallons of water from 2021 to 2025.

Details on our environmental footprint and supporting data can be found in our TCFD Report and Data Tables in the second half of this document. **Teammates United for a Healthier World** Recognizing that our teammates play an important role in sustainability, we encourage involvement through Earth Day, events at our offices and Green Action challenges. In 2025, teammates logged nearly 67,000 Green Actions, which are defined as intentional actions or behaviors that support positive environmental change. Over our entire 5-year reported goal period, our dedicated teammates logged 135,400 Green Actions in total. 1Previously known as Dow Jones Sustainability Indices.
