 Our leading portfolio of placental allografts and xenograft products are used by healthcare professionals to treat patients suffering from both acute and chronic, hard-to-heal wounds. Our mission, vision, and core values guide our commitment to leading the category in research and clinical evidence, helping clinicians elevate the standard of care, and providing a safe and healthy environment for our employees.

In an effort to deliver long-term value to all of our stakeholders, we incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives that are relevant to our business. These ESG objectives are informed by a combination of feedback from our stakeholders as well as leading ESG frameworks, such as the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Medical Equipment & Supplies standards, under the oversight of our Board of Directors.

Environmental Matters

Stewardship is a core value at MIMEDX. We are stewards of a precious, life-protecting and life-giving resource – human birth tissue – which currently represent the biological source material for many of our products. Without our placental donation and recovery program, this material would most likely be discarded as medical waste at the hospital. 

Environmental Management

We have worked with a third-party to conduct an environmental, health, and safety gap assessment in order to accurately benchmark our environmental impact. The review looked at several areas including:

•Air Pollution Control Management

•Battery Handling and Disposal 

•Community Right-to-Know (Hazardous Material Reporting)

•Hazardous Waste Management

•SARA Title III (Release Reporting)

•Solid Waste Management

•Spill, Prevention, Control and Countermeasure

•State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES)

•Storm Water Management

•Universal Waste Management

•Waste Oil Management

Waste Management

We work with waste removal providers to responsibly dispose of medical waste and biohazardous waste and have a program in place for the management of all medical and biohazardous waste processed in our facilities. In addition, we follow applicable packaging requirements for regulated medical waste, and conduct regular required training for all employees responsible for packaging medical waste for shipment. Our waste management initiatives also include the shredding and recycling of paper waste from our facilities, our transition to digital systems where possible to reduce print waste, and the distribution of electronic tablets to our sales teams to minimize printing needs, shipping costs, and printed materials.

Our facilities management team collects recyclable and reusable material when possible, including for cardboard, plastics, batteries, fluorescent lamps,
