Our commitment to sustainability

Sustainability is crucial for the future of our planet, but it is also crucial for the future of our company.

At Antaros Medical, we believe that we have a responsibility to make the difference that we can. We are committed to conducting our business in an environmentally, socially, and ethically responsible manner, and to actively integrating sustainable practices throughout our strategy and operations.

Our sustainability journey is ongoing, and we have learnt a lot along the way. It is a long-term commitment and a continuous project that involves all aspects of our work. And an area where there is always room for improvement and possibilities for coming up with new ideas.

Our opportunities for impact

As we continue to grow as a company, we recognize that our greatest opportunities for impact are in how we support and empower our people, how we work day-to-day, and how we influence our Business Partners and the wider value chain.

Our people

Our people are the foundation of everything that we do, and they are central to our sustainability efforts.

We strive to be workplace where our employees are inspired, engaged, and empowered. It is deeply engrained in our culture. This means working conditions, employee health & well-being, and opportunities for learning & development are prioritized.

Sustainability is not driven by a single person or team at Antaros Medical, it is a joint effort that is facilitated through engagement, information sharing, training and encouraging everyone to contribute.

Our operations

Working sustainably is linked to all parts of our operations.

From maintaining the highest standards of ethics, data protection, and compliance to scientific integrity and innovation, responsible business practices are fundamental to preserving trust.

We are always looking for new ways to reduce our environmental impact. Our offices have been selected and designed with this in mind, and we are committed to continuing to utilise 100% renewable energy, even as we continue to grow and expand internationally.

Our influence

We believe that our sustainability efforts can extend beyond our own operations.

Through collaborations with partners, thoughtful selection of suppliers, and participating in projects that advance innovation, we can influence other parts of our value chain.

We are very interested in exploring opportunities for promoting sustainability within clinical trials and drug development, and hope to actively contribute as the wider industry moves towards more sustainable practices.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

For Antaros Medical, sustainability is also about contributing to a healthier society, creating opportunities for people to grow and thrive, and enabling innovation that helps move healthcare forward. We have identified 4 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to guide our efforts and focus on areas where we believe we can have the biggest positive impact.

Our journey so far

We are proud of where we are today and of the progress we have made so far. Learn more about some of our milestones below:

In September 2024, we disclosed through CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) for the first time. CDP is a global non-profit that runs an environmental disclosure system for companies, cities, states, and regions. We disclosed using the small & medium enterprises (SME) questionnaire, which kickstarted our sustainability reporting and helped us to shape our future reporting efforts.
Throughout the spring in 2024, we had 2 students from the MSc Industrial Ecology at Chalmers University of Technology join us to write their thesis. Their aim was to look at how we, as a knowledge-creating service provider (with no production or manufacturing), can make the most meaningful impact and can work to influence our value chain.
Our people are the foundation of everything that we do. This is also the case with sustainability. Engaging our people to actively think about sustainability is the best way we can make an impact. It was also a great opportunity to capture different ideas and potential initatives.
This was our first external and independent evaluation of our sustainability work. Ecovadis is a trusted provider of annual business sustainability ratings, assessing indicators across four themes: environment, labour & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. We are proud to have scored in the 92nd percentile of all assessed companies.
This is part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and during this process we learnt a lot about greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and how to measure and report accurately. We are proud that we currently have no Scope 1 or 2 emissions, and we continue to utilise 100% renewable energy, even as we continue to grow and expand internationally. We are focusing our environmental sustainability initiatives on reducing our Scope 3 emissions.
This was an easy decision for us – we operate and are committed to doing business in a way that upholds the ten principles across human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption. The UN Global Compact is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world, with more than 15,000 companies in more than 160 countries.
