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.
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.
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.
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.
We have set specific, measurable short-, mid- and long-term targets in each of our four strategic pillars. These are not only closely interwoven with the strategy, but also linked to the compensation of the Executive Board.
Throughout 2022, we continued to work on the architecture of our sustainable future at DocMorris. We have further enhanced our sustainability governance structure, to drive more accountability in day-to-day operations and within the Executive Board and Board of Directors. To that end, we have significantly enhanced our sustainability reporting, worked towards a Code of Conduct internally and externally as well as a human rights policy.
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.
The newly established Sustainability Steering Committee functions as a Group-wide cross-sectional coordination body to link governance to business. The Sustainability Steering Committee reports on a regular basis about important developments to the Board of Directors and the Executive Board.
