Our Commitment to Our Communities

REACHING OUT BEYOND OUR WALLS

Our commitment to the health and well-being of patients worldwide starts within our own facilities and extends beyond our walls and our daily work. We are dedicated to having a positive impact on our environment and on the people, places and organizations that make up our communities.

REDUCING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

We emphasize environmental stewardship by driving sustainability throughout our global manufacturing operations and supply chain. We strive to continually reduce our environmental footprint by using energy, water and raw material efficiently, while decreasing waste and greenhouse gas emissions.

VOLUNTEERING OUR TIME AND EFFORT

Our employees contribute to many worthy causes, such as volunteering at a local school or a blood drive, serving at a hospital or food pantry, building homes for needy families, participating in community park clean-up days, or joining a local nonprofit board or committee. Staff at each facility select the activities and organizations they want to support, determining for themselves where they can make the most impact.
