Mdose awarded the EcoVadis medal: a CSR commitment serving responsible healthcare

EcoVadis: the global benchmark for supplier CSR assessment

EcoVadis is used by more than 130,000 companies in 175 countries to assess the CSR performance of their business partners. Its evaluation is based on four pillars: environment, social, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Each assessed company receives a score and, where applicable, a medal reflecting its level of CSR maturity.

The “Committed” medal means that our CSR approach is structured, documented, and verifiable. It goes beyond statements of intent and is based on real policies, procedures, and performance indicators.

Why CSR is especially critical for healthcare stakeholders

Healthcare professionals operate in an environment where requirements for quality, traceability, and ethics are among the highest. These expectations naturally extend to their suppliers. The CSRD directive, which now requires non-financial reporting from a growing number of companies and healthcare institutions, further reinforces these expectations.

By choosing Mdose as a partner, healthcare facilities and pharmacies can rely on an independent CSR assessment to:

• Document responsible purchasing within their own CSR reporting.
• Meet the requirements of their stakeholders (hospital purchasing groups, regional health authorities).
• Strengthen their sustainable procurement policies in line with their institutional values.

Our commitments to the healthcare sector

Eco-design and durability of medical equipment

The healthcare sector is one of the largest consumers of single-use devices and packaging. At Mdose, we work to select products with optimized lifecycles, recyclable materials at end of life, and suppliers committed to eco-design for non-sterile medical devices and care equipment.

Reducing healthcare waste (DASRI and related waste)

The management of infectious healthcare waste (DASRI) is a major environmental and public health challenge. Our collection, sorting, and transport equipment is selected to comply with current regulations while minimizing environmental impact.

Quality of working life for healthcare professionals

The well-being of healthcare professionals is central to our mission. Ergonomic care trolleys, unit-dose dispensing systems that reduce cognitive load for nursing teams, and accessible hygiene equipment—all our products are designed to ease daily workflows. This social commitment is a core component of our EcoVadis assessment.

Ethics and transparency

Healthcare is a sector where business ethics are closely scrutinized. Our EcoVadis approach includes a formal anti-corruption policy, strict compliance with professional conduct rules in our relationships with healthcare providers, and full transparency in our pricing and contractual practices.

What the EcoVadis medal means in practice

CSR as a continuous improvement process

Achieving the EcoVadis medal recognizes what we have already accomplished. It also marks the starting point of an ongoing improvement roadmap. Our priorities for the next cycle include strengthening carbon traceability across our product range, developing partnerships with certified suppliers, and more precisely measuring the environmental impact of our logistics operations.

We are committed to regularly sharing our progress with our clients and partners, in a spirit of transparency and collaboration toward a more sustainable healthcare ecosystem.
