Commitment to Sustainability
At Medartis, we integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles into our core processes and culture. These principles are essential to be successful as a business – to identify and mitigate risks, protect our reputation, foster employee engagement, attract capital and ensure long-term sustainability – and to make a positive impact.
Our sustainability strategy is based on our purpose, "Restoring Quality of Life", which provides a unifying and inspiring vision for the entire company. We focus on four key areas: people, products, the environment and doing business ethically.

People
We foster long-term relationships based on transparency, accountability, good conduct, and mutual trust
We strive to build positive, long-term and mutually beneficial relationships with all our stakeholders – employees, customers, investors, suppliers and all other business partners. We are on a culture journey aiming to create an organization where learning and our employees are key to perform sustainably at a high level. We have defined a set of values that guide us in our way of thinking and acting, both as individuals and as a company. We are committed to investing in our employees' skills with our own Medartis Academy and ensuring ongoing active interaction with our employees through our internal communication app (m-HUB), town hall meetings, and regular employee surveys.
Products
We deliver sustainable value through our innovative products while providing the highest quality solutions and services
We are passionate about developing advanced implant solutions for medical professionals to improve the care they can offer their patients, restoring their quality of life. We systematically involve our customers in our development projects.

Ethics
Doing business ethically and with integrity is the basis for our long-term success
Exemplary ethical behavior underpins our long-term success. Compliance is essential for Medartis' sustainability, preventing financial damage and preserving our reputation. A dedicated CSR policy defines the corporate social responsibility and labor standards for Medartis and its subsidiaries. All stakeholders must commit to ethical practices throughout the supply chain.
Medartis has a confidential reporting platform for unethical behavior and policy violations, accessible to employees, distributors, and other parties. The Medartis Ethics Committee reviews all complaints and takes appropriate action.
Environment
We protect our environment by acting responsibly throughout our value chain
In 2024, we committed to setting near-term climate targets validated by the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi). To further reduce our environmental impact and achieve our ambitious SBTi targets, we have identified the following footprint areas:
- Energy efficiency and substitution of fossil energy
- Reduction of raw materials and scrap rates through increase of automated production processes and improvements in production efficiency
- Recycling of used raw materials and reduction of auxiliary materials
- Smart design and eco-friendly packaging (e.g. mono-material that can be recycled)
