What we do and why we do it
We’ve done a lot to reduce our footprint on the environment, and we’d like to do more. We’re seeking ways to prevent pollution, to reduce waste, and to promote the sustainable use of natural resources. And we consider sustainability from a variety of angles — from the efficiency of our facilities to the design of our packaging and the distribution channels we use to get our products to a patient’s bedside.

Our facilities

Recycling and reuse
If something has a value, it should be used. When it can’t be reused, we look for ways to recycle.

Waste, energy, and water
Consumption and waste aren’t going away, but we always consider new options for reducing emissions, pollution, waste, and use of natural resources.

Architecture and construction
At the beginning of all construction projects, we consider new green building technologies, plan for reuse of materials, and build to maximize efficiency of natural resources.

Our customers, partners, and communities

Ordering and shipping
We seek the most efficient balance of technology, time, and transportation to get products to patients in a way that minimizes any negative impact on the environment.

Suppliers and distributors
Partnerships are a reflection of our own values, so we ask our business partners to follow the same standards we follow.

Restoration
Communities are the foundation of our business. We’re always looking to create positive, lasting impacts on job creation and the spirit of our communities by putting old buildings back to use.

Our products, packaging, and operations

Products and packaging
When it comes to our products and packaging, we are committed to continuous improvement. We actively avoid and monitor restricted substances in our supply chain and are always looking for ways to remove nonessential features that generate excess waste.

Compliance
Compliance to all applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations is a baseline. When it is possible to do more, we do.

Prevention
Regarding environmental health and safety, it’s better to spend more time in the beginning making things right than to act retroactively. We are always working to prevent accidents that could endanger our employees and communities.
