REDUCING

our consumption and our environmental footprint

More than ever, energy consumption is at the heart of climate and environmental issues. We have managed to preserve our resources and reduce the energy impact of our manufacturing processes.

We measure our energy consumption performance in megawatts / metric ton of processed products.

We aim to minimize our environmental impact by investing in decarbonized energy to preserve our natural resources and reduce our CO2 emissions.
We also endeavor to promote renewable energy sources and to develop short supply circuits for our entire supply chain wherever possible.

“Using a Sterimed porous base to package a medical device means reducing the amount of plastic by 30% on average and using a material that is more than 80% renewable and biodegradable.”

At STERIMED, we believe that all our employees have the right to a working environment that ensures their health and safety. The prevention policy of each site ensures the reduction of occupational risks at all levels.

“We don’t come to work to put ourselves in danger! On all our sites, management does everything in its power to ensure that employees work in a controlled environment. In addition, real-time incident notification to all the sites helps to lead us in the right direction.”

PROTECTING

patients and users

At STERIMED, we believe that protecting patients and users is not only a matter of compliance with standards, but also of commitment and proactiveness on the part of companies in the sector.

We provide our customers with knowledge of the standards governing the medical device packaging industry and we pass on our expertise to advise and offer turnkey solutions. These are approved according to the standard methodology related to this industry.

“It is a matter of course for us and a source of pride to get involved and contribute in our capacity, to improving healthcare systems and patient safety, reducing healthcareassociated infections and participating in progress and advancements in patient care.”
