Doing What’s Right
Acting with integrity is foundational to how we pursue our goals and measure our progress. As we set these commitments, we align them with evolving regulatory reporting expectations and ensure the data behind what we report is accurate and reliable.
Responsibility for achieving these goals sits with leaders across DaVita, reflecting our longstanding belief that Community Care is not owned by any single team — it belongs to all of us.
2030 Goals: Caring for Our Patients
Providing Industry-Leading Care for All Our Patients
Excellence in patient care is the beating heart of our work at DaVita. Ultimately, every decision we make reinforces our commitment to helping every patient achieve their own best possible health outcomes.
Improve patient quality of life:
Reduce hospitalizations to extend lifespans. For those living with kidney disease, avoiding the hospital is a potent indicator of improved quality of life, reflecting more sustained periods of stable well-being and more effective management of disease complications. Over the coming five years, we commit to reducing the average hospitalization rate among the patients we serve, as measured against a 2025 baseline.
Empower 150,000+ people to make informed modality choices through kidney education.
Our Kidney Smart® program provides kidney health education and lifestyle recommendations to help at-risk individuals understand kidney health, apply strategies to help prevent disease progression and make the modality choices that best meet their personal health goals. Today, the program is available in person, by phone and online in over 13 languages. We commit to building on this strong foundation to reach more than 150,000 people with expert, accessible kidney education by 2030.
Narrow health disparities: Increase home dialysis and transplant rates for underserved populations.
We are tackling head-on the persistent reality that underserved populations experience lower rates of home dialysis and transplantation. We commit to reducing these disparities, consistent with our goal of providing industry-leading care for every patient.
Applying methodology recommended by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to identify patients considered “underserved,” we will track key metrics for underserved and the broader patient populations to assess and report on our progress in narrowing the gap.
Support 40,000+ DaVita patients receiving a life-changing transplant.
For patients for whom kidney transplant is a medically appropriate option, transplantation is the ideal treatment for end stage kidney disease. We commit to working with our transplantproviding partners in the broader kidney care community to support more than 40,000 DaVita patients on the transplant journey.
2030 Goals: Caring for Each Other
Differentiating Our Culture to Foster Purpose, Connection, Belonging and Professional Growth
At DaVita, we put people at the center of everything we do, which supports our culture, empowers a shared purpose and drives our pursuit of a healthier tomorrow.
Sustain market-leading teammate engagement scores of 80% or higher each year.
Annual engagement surveys help us gauge teammate sentiment, recognize successes and identify areas for improvement. Through a comparative industry assessment, we established a benchmark leadership score of 80%, and set this as our annual goal for 2026–2030.
Grow our own talent: Graduate 2,000 new nurses through DaVita programs.
When we support a thriving pipeline of nursing talent, the entire healthcare sector benefits. By offering a wide range of sponsorship and mentorship programs, as well as tuition reimbursement options, we commit to helping 2,000 new nurses earn their credentials with support from DaVita programs by 2030.
Build pathways to prosperity: Promote 65,000 front-line teammates to help drive economic mobility.
We recognize the allimportant connection between career growth and economic mobility for the dedicated DaVita teammates who deliver front-line patient care. Our Clinical Ladders program provides the framework for career growth, offering clear and actionable pathways to advancement opportunities for clinical professionals. We commit to 65,000 promotions for our frontline teammates through the Clinical Ladders program by 2030.
Mobilize our teammates for good: Complete 300,000 hours of community service.
The same spirit of service that draws all of us to work at DaVita inspires us to give back beyond our walls. We encourage and support a vast range of volunteer activities, including both DaVitasponsored initiatives and those driven by teammates independently. In the coming five years, we commit to completing 300,000 hours of volunteerism — acting as a community first, a company second.
2030 Goals: Caring for Our World
Building a Healthier, More Resilient Future for the Communities We Serve
Working to strengthen the communities and environment around us is a natural extension of our longstanding legacy of care. Through philanthropy, conservation initiatives and investments that help communities prepare for and respond to challenges, we aim to support health and safety today and into the future.
Strengthen our communities with philanthropic investments benefiting 400,000 people by 2030. In alignment with our caring ethos and wide-ranging platform of community initiatives, philanthropy is another way we work to extend the reach of DaVita’s positive influence on human health. Through the DaVita Giving Foundation we commit to sustained, high-impact philanthropic investment in the years ahead.[1]
Power all global operations with 100% renewable energy each year as part of our path to net zero by 2050.
Having met our goal of powering 100% of our global operations with renewable energy in 2025, we’ve set the bar high. Moving forward, we commit to upholding this gold standard of environmental sustainability and maintaining our position as renewable energy leaders even as our operations grow in scale and impact.
Safeguard patient care by assessing risks from severe weather and building more resilient operations.
Protecting patients and teammates is our top priority during severe weather events. In the years ahead, we’ll perform a robust assessment of the physical risks from severe weather in each of the communities we serve. We’ll apply this data to develop capital improvement plans to safeguard patient care and support operational continuity in the event of weather emergencies.
Scale water conservation best practices in each country in which we operate.
Building on the success of our U.S. water conservation initiatives, we commit to pursuing water conservation on a global scale. In the coming years, we’ll develop tailored water-saving best practices for each country in which we operate, ensuring we manage this critical resource responsibly throughout our enterprise.
