Helping Our Customers Invest In Our Planet by Practicing Green

The Global Reflections program has evolved into Practice Green, a new, comprehensive initiative that is designed to provide Henry Schein customers with products, solutions, and services to help create greener practices.

Our goal is to help health care professionals increase their sustainability efforts while continuing to provide high-quality patient care. This program aligns with our commitment to balancing the needs of our key stakeholders—Team Schein Members, our Customers, our Suppliers, our Shareholders and Society—and to mitigating our impact on the environment.

At Henry Schein, we believe in a healthier planet for healthier people. We aspire to be carbon neutral in our supply chain emissions by the year 2050 and will achieve our ambitious goal by strengthening our approach to measuring, monitoring, and reporting on our carbon emissions and other environmental impacts. As such, to recognize Earth Day, Henry Schein is implementing carbon neutral shipping in its U.S. network during the month of April as part of our shared commitment to mitigating the urgent issue of climate change.

Championing Sustainable Business Practices

To guide the Company's efforts and education related to environmental sustainability, we established an Environmental Impact Council, which is made up of a global cross-functional group of senior leaders with engagement from our Board of Directors and Executive Management Committee. This Council drives the Company's environmental sustainability strategy and provides recommendations on how to prioritize efforts. Hear from our Council members on some of these efforts.
