Our commitment to ESG

ESG

The healthcare sector is responsible for about 4,4% of greenhouse gas emissions and 5 million tons of waste worldwide each year. Although healthcare is meant to improve health, the current significant impact on the environment creates a paradox. 

As a leading distributor of medical solutions in Europe, Duomed plays an important role between production and consumption. Our unique position gives us the opportunity to make the healthcare market more sustainable. We are committed to taking responsible business action to break this healthcare paradox and create the healthier and more sustainable world we all want.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Since March 2023, Duomed Group is a proud member of the United Nations Global Compact, aligning our operations and strategy with their 10 universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Within our 3 ESG pillars below, we contribute to 7 topics of their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

For the assessment and management of our sustainability practices, we plan to work with the EcoVadis platform. EcoVadis will help us manage ESG risk and compliance, meet our corporate sustainability goals, and drive impact at scale by guiding the sustainability performance improvement of our company.

We are proud to have attained EcoVadis certification for Duomed France Endoscopie (Gold), Duomed France Solutions (Bronze) and Duomed Scandinavia (Gold) and aim for certification for Duomed Group by 2024.
