 published our third GHG Emissions Inventory, which included CO2 emissions data, as well as water usage and waste generation. Since February 2021, we have offered a free recycling program to patients who use our Bone Growth Stimulators, to reduce the number of devices that end up in landfills after use — the first program of its kind for bone growth therapy devices. To date, we have sent shipping labels to over 25,000 patients to facilitate the recycling of these devices. We also embed the principles of advancing a circular economy into our CR practices globally through our in-office recycling program, including recycle/reuse and a commitment to eliminate styrofoam. Additionally, our facilities have energy efficient HVAC systems, and certain locations, such as our headquarters in Lewisville, Texas, utilize 100% sustainable energy. We also offer electric vehicle charging stations at certain facilities for our employees to use free of charge as a way for our employees to partner with us in our efforts to reduce GHG emissions. Further, we expect our suppliers to support our efforts in improving the environment and animal welfare. We believe that our focus on environmental sustainability, with the objective of reducing costs and improving the sustainability of our operations, will provide a strategic benefit. Moving ahead, we will continue to engage with suppliers throughout our global value chain to measure and manage these impacts in order to conserve resources, reduce costs, and promote ethical practices. Highlights of our environmental sustainability efforts and accomplishments include: |
