December 15, 2023- Medela’s corporate social responsibility program, Medela Cares, focuses on where we can have the greatest impact in line with our business priorities and with the global topics of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption synthesized into our three pillars of commitment: People, Planet and Society.
Highlights from the 2023 Report:
- People: As part of our commitment to champion equity, we are proud to have global female representation of 60%, with a total of 52% women in leadership positions.
- Planet: We are excited about the progress made in this area, already exceeding our 2025 goal to reduce plastic packaging waste. We have also made significant strides in changing our cardboard packaging materials, resulting in a 51% reduction in CO2 emissions from retail packaging, and improving our use of renewable energy.
- Society: As we continue to nurture our partnerships with Laerdal Global Health and the Wellbeing Foundation Africa to fight maternal and infant mortality and malnutrition in under-resourced regions, we also understand the importance of increasing access to the latest scientific evidence in healthcare.
