UAE-based PureHealth invested Dh41 million in community projects in 2025, reaching an estimated 473,000 individuals across its operations in the UAE and UK, revealed their most recent Sustainability and Social Impact Report.

PureHealth also maintained its top AAA environmental, social, and governance (ESG) rating from MSCI for the second year in a row, outperforming the industry average by roughly 30%. The corporation pledged Dh50 million to the Life Endowment campaign, a joint effort by Awqaf Abu Dhabi and the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi, aimed at supporting medical care for vulnerable patients with chronic illnesses.

PureHealth is also advancing its national healthcare volunteering platform, PureHeroes, established in partnership with Emirates Foundation. The corporation reported an 11% reduction in its direct and energy-related greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2024. They also introduced their first on-site solar installation at SEHA Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Mohammed Medical City, which generated over 1,000 megawatt-hours of clean electricity and prevented about 330 tonnes of carbon emissions.

Moreover, around 3,000 tonnes of waste were recycled during the year, aligning with PureHealth's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2040. The report highlights PureHealth's dedication to cultivating its workforce, with employees dedicating approximately 834,000 hours to training in 2025, a 30% increase from the previous year.
