At Henry Schein, we understand that the health of people is deeply connected to the health of the environments where we live and work. Clean air, safe water, and thriving ecosystems are essential to healthy communities — we have a responsibility to help protect them.

That’s why environmental sustainability is a key part of how we do business. We focus on reducing our impact, using resources responsibly, and helping health care providers make more environmentally conscious choices. By working with our partners across the supply chain, we aim to protect natural resources and support a healthier future for everyone.

A Healthier World Starts with a Healthier Environment

Our commitment to sustainability is not just a program — it’s part of how we think and act every day. By working together across our company and industry, we’re helping protect ecosystems, improve public health, and support the well-being of future generations.

Creating a Positive Environmental Impact Across Our Business

We follow a science-based approach to sustainability, using clear goals and proven methods to guide our actions. Our strategy focuses on four main areas that help protect the environment while also supporting our customers, communities, and the broader health care industry.

Four Areas of Environmental Action

Practice Green

 

Helping Health Care Providers Practice Sustainability

Through our Practice Green program, we offer products, tools, and resources that help health care professionals lower their environmental impact — without lowering the quality of care. From eco-friendly materials to waste-reduction solutions, Practice Green supports small changes that lead to big environmental improvements.

Green Team Schein

 

 Supporting Environmental Action in Local Communities

Our team members around the world take part in environmental volunteer efforts like beach cleanups, tree planting, and building gardens. These activities help local ecosystems and strengthen our culture of caring for the environment and our communities.

Supply Chain & Circularity

Creating a More Sustainable Supply Chain

We are improving our operations and logistics to reduce waste and use water more wisely. Our goal is to support a circular economy. This means rethinking packaging, using resources more efficiently, and working with suppliers who share our environmental values.

Net Zero 2050 Roadmap

Planning for Long-Term Environmental Health

We are working toward long-term goals to lower our environmental impact, starting with meaningful actions today. Our Net Zero 2050 plan sets clear company-wide goals to cut emissions and use resources more wisely — with the health of people and the planet always in mind.
