Sustainability & ESG

Wassenburg Medical BV is not only about a safe, user-friendly, efficient and innovative cleaning and disinfection process for endoscopes for every hospital and clinic, but is first and foremost about people.  An environment where ambitions are given space, dreams are realised and investments continue to yield optimal returns.

The Wassenburg Green Challenge

We believe in sustainable, equal relationships. Profit and return optimisation are of course important, but striving for short-term gain goes against our convictions. We therefore go for enduring relationships and a sustainable, focused vision; continuity. This is because we also want to contribute to a bright future as a core condition for the well-being of people, companies and our living environment.

Wassenburg Medical BV operates in the medical sector in which many improvements can be achieved on the theme of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Partly stimulated by our stakeholders, we feel involved and responsible as a market party to contribute, where possible, to this important social theme.

From this starting point, we want to raise awareness of the importance of CSR in our organisation and among our stakeholders. In doing so, we follow Dutch and European legislation and Hoya’s policy plans. This is so that we are able to take our social responsibility together with our stakeholders, and to actively develop and maintain CSR step by step.

The aspect of sustainability is of great importance for the healthcare industry and medical technology. The Code of Sustainability of Wassenburg Medical considers the essential legal regulations that are associated with it in social, ecological, and economic terms, as well as the necessary corporate organizational structures (“Governance”).

We comply with applicable working time laws to protect our employees from physical and mental fatigue.
