- Lower-than-expected sales in Western Europe and China for simulation products
- Reduction in NHS capital expenditure spending in the UK impacting simulation sales
- Competition from existing ultrasound manufacturers and well-funded independent AI software vendors in the Clinical AI market
- Supply chain pressures (though mitigated in the second half of 2023)
- Potential threats to global, regional and local economies (e.g., geopolitical instability, economic slowdown)
Intelligent Ultrasound Group plc
Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
In its 2023 reporting, Intelligent Ultrasound Group plc disclosed greenhouse gas emissions of 1.1K tCO2e/year. By scope: Scope 1: 9.9 tCO2e/year; Scope 2: 29.5 tCO2e/year; Scope 3: 1.0K tCO2e/year. Figures are as stated in the company's own report and may use different boundaries, units or methods (for example market-based vs location-based Scope 2), so compare with care.
