Our commitment to a sustainable supply chain

At medac, we are passionately and responsibly committed to sustainable and ethical business practices, particularly in relation to our supply chains. In accordance with the laws and regulations applicable in our global markets, such as the German Supply Chain Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz, LkSG), we are committed to careful review and design of our supply chains. The aim is to meet human rights and environmental due diligence obligations to minimise risks to people and the environment.

As a supplier of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, we are regularly asked by our customers, who have had to comply with the LkSG since 1 January 2023, how we ensure compliance with the German Supply Chain Act. If you receive enquiries of this kind, please contact our Human Rights Board at medac immediately. All activities in this regard must be coordinated with them. You can reach the team at LkSG@medac.de.

Green future, safe work: our HSE promise

As a forward-looking pharmaceutical company, we take our responsibility for health, safety and the environment seriously. At medac, we take the highest safety measures for the occupational safety of our employees. When dealing with hazardous substances, such as CMR substances, which include cytostatics, professional handling is of paramount importance. We ensure that all occupational health procedures are followed. 

Our overall commitment to sustainability is reflected in our proactive approach to using resources efficiently and to minimising negative impacts on the environment and climate. We are committed to continuous improvement and are working towards our long-term aim of creating internationally applicable standards. Thanks to our ISO 14001 environmental management system, we have already made important contributions to our major goal of climate neutrality. Following our aspiration for further improvement, we have introduced the ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management system and the ISO 50001 energy management system in Germany. These new standardised processes contribute to better occupational health and safety, more efficient use of our energy resources and a reduction in our environmental footprint. We have also implemented a cloud-based software solution that enables us to efficiently manage all our health, safety, environment and sustainability management requirements.

Our sustainability strategy is closely linked to our business success. Through a materiality analysis, we identify the key sustainability issues that have both an internal and external impact on our business.

The strong interest of our employees in sustainability issues is reflected in the positive response to corporate sustainability initiatives such as our internal sustainability challenge at medac. Across the markets we are active in, we engage intensively in the improvement of our ecological footprint, as for instance with the development of a publicly accessible parking garage at our headquarters in Wedel that will provide geothermal heat for our operations.

Ethics as a foundation: our value system in the Code of Conduct

Our code of Conduct sets out the values that underpin the way we do business and work together. This code reflects our core philosophy of putting people first. We are committed to providing high-quality, safe products that improve the health of patients around the world. Our work is characterised by reliability and a strong sense of responsibility.

Our Code of Conduct is a living document and the basis for the trust that patients, healthcare professionals, partners and customers place in us. And it is the key to our business success. All employees of medac are called upon to observe and implement the defined rules of conduct in their daily work in order to jointly ensure the integrity and long-term success of our company.

We have set an important course for the future in creating an innovative work concept, including new workplace design, flexible working models and the introduction of group-wide training programmes.
