We operate in the industry of medical consumables which can result in large amounts of waste for several reasons. As a company we understand this and operate in a manner that helps to reduce the impact on the environment as much as possible. This includes ensuring our products and packaging contains as much recyclable material as possible. Internally we use electric forklifts and reach trucks, have a recycling collection system for our waste and aim, through technology, to become a paperless office.
Being a family owned and run company, our people are our greatest asset. We are therefore passionate about providing an environment of fairness and equitable treatment to all our people. We strive to create and foster a supportive and inclusive culture in which everyone can achieve success and be rewarded. Examples of this include ensuring everyone is on or above the living wage, offering a peer nomination awards scheme and ensuring all staff are involved in a bonus scheme based on company performance.
We are proud to support charities by donating stock or funds including Wellington Medical Research Foundation – Research for Life and Friends of Fiji. We also make available to local organisations and charities short dated or expired stock which also forms part of our aim to limit waste.
We are committed to providing a safe environment for our employees, suppliers and visitors at our offices and warehouses. We continuously work to identify and mitigate any potential risks in the work place, monitor incidents and comply with the New Zealand Health and Safety at Work Act.
The above are not only standards which we place upon ourselves, but they are also a key factor when selecting our international and local suppliers and service providers.
