We make life saving technology
accessible to more people
This is how we contribute to improving human life. It means that we constantly develop new solutions and refine our offer, with the aim to minimize our environmental impact as much as possible across the whole value chain.
Reducing product environmental impact
We are continuously working to reduce the environmental impact of our products across the value chain. For example within aseptic transfer, to reduce the carbon footprint, we offer a new version of our DPTE-BetaBag® Tyvek with a new beta part made of renewable sources.
Reduced time at the hospital for patients
We have solutions that can help reduce time at the hospital for patients. One example is Torin, a Digital Health solution that can help reduce the occurrence of delayed or cancelled surgery.
Improving work-life for our customers
One example is the collision detection system of our new Maquet Corin OR table, as it protects not only the OR team working around the operating table, but also all equipment often placed underneath the table, such as C-arms or patient warming systems.
Policies
We are committed to optimizing the use of energy and natural resources, minimizing our emissions to air and reducing the environmental impact of our waste handling.
Actions
During 2023 we mapped how our products affect CO2 -emissions as part of the target of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. To reduce the environmental footprint of our products, we have for example updated our EcoDesign Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) including adding a standardized method for life cycle assessments (LCA).
