All three core areas of sustainability—Environmental, Social, and Governance—are integrated into Sanner’s corporate strategy and are pursued and implemented at the Group level.
Sustainability is an integral part of our strategy. In 2022, we calculated our carbon footprint for the first time in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, which covers Scope 1, 2, and portions of Scope 3 emissions. This includes emissions from production, energy consumption, and the supply chain. All company locations were taken into account. The data serves as the basis for our reduction plan in accordance with the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). Going forward, we aim to further improve data collection and expand Scope 3 reporting, while simultaneously implementing measures to reduce emissions. For more information:

Each year, the CDP collects data and information on a voluntary basis on behalf of investors, using standardized questionnaires to assess companies’ CO2 emissions, climate risks, and their reduction targets and strategies. Today, the CDP manages the world’s largest database of its kind.
For 2024, Sanner received the following rating: overall score of “C”. We are currently participating for the evaluation for the upcoming year.

We help clients make confident sustainability decisions through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), providing a clear understanding of a product’s environmental footprint across its lifecycle. By assessing factors such as materials, manufacturing, transport, use, and disposal, we identify the most impactful opportunities for improvement. Our medical device expertise ensures these insights translate into practical actions that support sustainability goals without compromising performance, compliance, or commercial viability.
