In 2024, ResMed celebrated its 35th Anniversary. The world has changed considerably since the meeting in 1989 between Dr. Peter Farrell and Dr. Colin Sullivan, the inventor of the nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Yet ResMed’s core mission – to create life-changing health technologies that people love – continues to drive us in helping people live healthier lives. Improving lives through healthtech innovation is in our DNA. Over these past 12 months, we have done just that by enhancing the lives of over 144 million people in 140 countries worldwide.
We made considerable progress throughout 2024, furthering the integration of our enterprise materiality assessment into core business practices and processes. In the areas of product and packaging circularity, this integration led to our new 2030 Product Sustainability Strategy, covered in this report. This strategy is focused on using data to drive sustainable design decisions while maintaining the product quality, comfort, and performance that is synonymous with the ResMed brand.
I’m proud of our teams and the progress we’ve made towards a healthier global community.
