We have a positive impact
To be sustainable, we must make a difference to the world around us. That’s what we believe.
We invest in the communities where we operate so that we remain a trusted partner over the long term.
We feel a strong sense of commitment to both the medical profession and patients receiving treatment. We have chosen to support Operation Smile as our global charity partner and at a local level. We share common ambitions and areas of expertise with them – which ensures our time, money and products are focused in the most effective and valuable way.
Operation Smile is the global charity that we support. We also support local charities that share our goal of improving healthcare outcomes if they meet our guidelines.
By donating time, products, funds and expertise, we can help improve the lives of patients and support those who care for them. Working within the community in this way also enables our business and the organisations we support to remain sustainable.
Our community support policy is designed to help us play an active role in the community. We receive many requests for donations to good causes at a local level and we cannot support all of them.
We have guidelines that ensure our community support is appropriate. The organisations we support should:
- be in the medical field
- work to improve patients’ lives, to improve medical staff protection, or to increase the level of knowledge in the medical field
- provide credible and measurable results
The initiatives we support must also be in line with Advamed or Medtech Europe guidance.
