Humanity faces one of the most significant challenges of modern times – the ecological revolution in the economy and society. As staunch believers in science, we are convinced that the time for change is now, and it must be fast. Our actions in the short- and mid-term will be decisive. At OECHSLERhealth, we are ready to take responsibility.
OECHSLERhealth takes responsibility for climate protection - in line with the Paris Climate Agreement and the goals of the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). As part of the globally active OECHSLER Group, we have committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions on a scientifically sound basis: by 2034, we will reduce our direct emissions (Scope 1 & 2) by 58.8% and emissions along the supply chain (Scope 3) by 63.8% per tonne of products sold - measured against the base year 2023.
The validation of our climate targets by the SBTi in July 2025 underlines our commitment not only to develop sustainable solutions, but also to implement them consistently.
OECHSLERhealth values its employees as key drivers for sustainable change, emphasizing a corporate culture based on Pioneering Spirit, Fair Play, Room for Action, and Encouraging Success. The company promotes diversity and equal opportunity, joining the Diversity Charter in 2021. Human rights protection is central, ensuring compliance across all production sites and the value chain.
Compliance stands for conformity with statutory and internal company regulations. For OECHSLERhealth, this is a central building block and a fundamental requirement. The globally valid guidelines clearly defines our conviction and attitude towards legal requirements and ethical issues. Our position is regularly confirmed in customer and third party audits.
As part of our ongoing commitment to society, our employees, and the environment, the OECHSLER AG completes a thorough assessment of its business sustainability practices every year through EcoVadis, a global leader for evaluating corporate responsibility. EcoVadis includes 21 sustainability criteria across four core themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.
In our most recent assessment, completed on July 8, 2025, the OECHSLER AG was awarded the Gold Medal – placing us among the top 5% of companies worldwide. This recognition underscores our ambition to continuously improve and transparently live up to the standards of responsible business conduct – across all industries we serve, including healthcare.
