We must maintain the property we are privileged to use, protecting the environment and natural resources. Our Credo challenges us to put the needs and well-being of the people we serve first. The Environment As a medical device manufacturer, DePuy Synthes is mindful of our influence and our impact on the environment. Our LeLocle, Switzerland facility has reduced its usage of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by replacing traditional degreasing methods that used VOCs with a water-based cleaning method. We have made strides in packaging improvements as well. Our Warsaw, Indiana facility has nearly eliminated the use of PVC in all Warsaw-based packaging. Our Blackpool, England facility has implemented the use of Electronic IFUs (Instructions for Use) for a range of products to reduce paper usage. Our leadership has been recognized by the State of Indiana’s prestigious Environmental Stewardship Program, which awarded the Warsaw facility membership for its contributions to continuous environmental improvements and demonstration of long-term compliance with environmental laws.
