As a global company, Medline recognises its responsibility to uphold ethical and sustainable practices throughout its supply chain. Its comprehensive approach combines clear standards, active oversight, and continuous improvement.
‘Medline has prioritised supporting efforts to make healthcare more sustainable for both people and the planet. This is deeply integrated into our core mission of supporting the improvement of healthcare providers' operational performance by delivering better clinical, financial, and operational outcomes.’ Oliver Watts, Sustainability Director, EMEA shared.
The company’s global sustainability strategy is built on four key pillars:
- Climate Resilience and Environmental Action – Medline has committed to operating a business that is environmentally aware and limits the associated contribution to climate change – while managing the potential impacts.
- Responsible Products – Medline is aware that its products represent its greatest opportunity to have a positive impact for/amongst its customers and on society.
- People and Communities – Medline is attentive to practices that support and enhance people and communities, respectively, throughout its supply chain.
- Strong Governance – Medline is conscious that a successful strategy requires strong governance, related procedures for its fully supply chain, and as such, has a robust governance structure in place.
