ESG Reporting Hub
DaVita values accountability and integrity. Our ESG Reporting Hub contains key reports and resources related to our ESG (environmental, social and governance) and CSR (corporate social responsibility) programs, policies, goals and progress.
Key ESG Reports
A focus on ESG is not new to DaVita. For more than 16 years, our Trilogy of Care—Caring for Our Patients, Caring for Each Other and Caring for Our World—has been at the heart of everything we do. More information on our Trilogy of Care and social responsibility efforts can be found on our Community Care site.
ESG at DaVita
We strive to be a community first and a company second, which is underscored by our deep rooted commitment to our ESG practices. Our ESG focus areas include how we care for our patients; how we support our teammates to grow and thrive in a workplace where everyone feels like they belong; and how we engage with our local communities and promote environmental stewardship.
ESG Governance:
The Nominating and Governance Committee of DaVita's Board of Directors (the "Board") oversees DaVita’s activities, policies and programs related to corporate environmental and social responsibility. Our management ESG Steering Committee regularly reports to the Nominating and Governance Committee and gives the full Board an ESG update on no less than an annual basis.
ESG Issues and Stakeholder Engagement:
Based on feedback from key stakeholders and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) recommended metrics for health care service providers, we have identified our key ESG issues and five focus areas:

2025 ESG Goals:
In 2021, we announced our goals in each of our five ESG focus areas for 2025, many of which are aspirational. The goals represent our ongoing commitment to meaningfully advancing corporate citizenship initiatives. In the process of setting these goals, we worked with key stakeholders across the company to determine objective metrics, leveraging external reporting frameworks, such as SASB, and science-based goals when possible. While we recognize that it may be difficult to achieve some of these aspirational goals during the timeframe, we believe there is value in striving for these goals. An update on our goal progress is available here.
