‘Healthier life’ Our sustainability strategy
DocMorris has a special responsibility to society: we want to create a world for everyone to manage their health in one click. Implementing this business model to improve peoples' quality of life inherently follows the principle of sustainability.
Yet, we understand that much more is needed to realise our ambition of a ‘Healthier life’ – that is to deeply weave sustainability into our corporate strategy at all levels. We acknowledge our responsibility to monitor, understand and act upon the social, environmental and economic impact of our own operations and that of the wider digital health industry. That’s why we have structured our sustainability approach around four strategic pillars: Healthier People, Sustainable Planet, Caring Company, and Reliable Partnerships.
Our sustainability journey has already begun, and we will continue to embed sustainable priorities into our business practices. Just like the circular economy, our sustainability efforts will constantly evolve.
4 Strategic pillars
Healthier People
Digitisation may have simplified our lives in many ways, but there is still a strong need for its integration into professional medical assistance and care. Based on our commitment to improving medication efficacy and providing easier access to seamless and higher-quality digital health offerings, we’re rethinking healthcare for our customers.
Sustainable Planet
Climate change is the defining issue of our time, and a continuous rise in temperature will have severe consequences for our planet. Action is required. Our priorities include the reduction of our company’s carbon footprint, efficient energy use, sustainable packaging materials, and waste management.
Reliable Partnerships
In building a sustainable digital health ecosystem, we need to recognise the fundamental impacts of our business activities on relevant stakeholders and vice versa. We want to foster collaborative decision-making and share ownership with relevant ecosystem players. Our sustainability measures therefore include stakeholder identification, transparent dialogue, and the continuous implementation of the lessons learned.
Caring Company
Technology is rapidly changing customer expectations. In response, we are adapting our ways of working to best suit our customers’ needs. A significant part of this is to constantly monitor and minimise any risks posed to our customers and employees in our use of technology. Data privacy and information security are areas of a particularly high interest for us. We focus firmly on reliable digital systems and data protection, new corporate governance and compliance principles, a value-oriented corporate culture, attractive working conditions, and talent development.
Clear targets for the future
We have set specific, measurable short-, mid- and long-term targets in each of our five strategic pillars. These are not only closely interwoven with the strategy, but also linked to the compensation of the Executive Board.

Sustainability at all levels
To ensure the successful anchoring and implementation of our sustainability strategy at all levels of our organisation, the appropriate resources and responsibilities have been allocated.
Overall responsibility for the sustainable development of DocMorris lies with the Board of Directors and the Executive Board. As of 2023, Prof. Dr. Andréa Belliger is responsible for Sustainability within the Board of Directors. The Sustainability Steering Committee reports on a regular basis on important developments to the Board of Directors and the Executive Board.
Sustainable Development Goals
Our strategic approach to managing material topics is aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were developed as a global blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. While all 17 SDGs are related to our activities and impact, we have identified 7 that are most closely linked to our strategic pillars:
- SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being
- SDG 5 Gender Equality
- SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth
- SDG 9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
- SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production
- SDG 13 Climate Action
- SDG 17 Partnerships for the Goals
We pay particular attention to how our sustainability strategy can contribute in the most meaningful way to the SDGs as a core of our actions and an impactful contribution to responsible corporate citizenship.
