Materiality Analysis
Following a materiality analysis in 2021, we launched WeCare. Based on the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, WeCare embeds social, environmental, and economic value for patients and healthcare providers across our product and service offering. It also directs how we conduct our business in the short, mid and long-term to create a sustainable, equitable and inclusive future.
