Shaping a Sustainable Tomorrow
The Trudell Medical Group of Companies’ (TMG) Sustainability Strategy, Shaping a Sustainable Tomorrow, is intended to provide clarity to stakeholders on the expectations for the Group to pursue and achieve Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals as business priorities. Shaping a Sustainable Tomorrow is a multi-year sustainability journey. Through reducing our carbon footprint, optimizing resources and promoting a diverse workforce, we’re striving to be catalysts for positive change across the healthcare industry and beyond.
Central to this mission is our core commitment to being Patient First. We are currently collaborating with pharma manufacturers and propellant suppliers to help with the transition to more environmentally friendly inhalers within the coming years, while maintaining the most effective delivery system for patients.
Our Strategy will be more than a checklist of initiatives; it will be a reflection of our core values and our dedication to making a positive difference in the world.
Our Material Priorities
In developing Shaping a Sustainable Tomorrow, we engaged experts at Delphi to help us establish material priorities around environmental, social and governance matters, and a roadmap for achieving them. This Materiality Assessment included various inputs from over 500 internal and external stakeholders, peer benchmarking data reviews, and industry standards reviews.
Through this assessment, Trudell Medical Group established 5 material priorities. These are the specific sustainability issues that are most significant to our long term success and impact. Trudell Medical Limited will oversee the creation and execution of strategic plans to address these five material priorities.
