We are part of a global community, with responsibilities towards our people, clients, suppliers, shareholders, the environment and the public at large. Living up to that responsibility and making a positive impact in everything we do is extremely important to us. Whether we are taking the best possible care of our people, supporting charities we believe in or protecting the environment, we embed CSR into our organisation at every level. As part of UDG Healthcare plc, we are committed to upholding the highest professional and ethical standards. We encourage and support everyone who works for us to do the same. Community At Sharp, we believe in building strong, healthy relationships with the communities we work in and serve, by getting involved with local fundraising, projects and organisations. We support local and national charities we believe in, both through financial donations and by helping our people in sharing their time and skills. At each of our sites, we encourage our teams to come up with creative new ways of contributing and working with their community. The charities we currently support include: • March of Dimes Foundation • United Way • American Cancer Society • Macmillan Cancer Support • Miller-Keystone Blood Center • Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites • Lehigh Valley Health Network • Andrew J Gress Graphic Arts Institute • Plymouth Fire Company • Fogelsville Volunteer Fire Company • Minsi Trails Council • The City of Hope National Medical Center • Phoenixville Fire Department • Phoenixville Area School District • St Christopher’s Foundation Farm to Families Initiative • Toys for Tots Foundation • Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology Click here to find out more about our support for the March of Dimes Foundation. Environment We are committed to limiting the impact we have on the environment and helping to protect our planet for the generations to come. At every site, in every country where we operate, we make sure we are meeting or exceeding all statutory requirements and working to the very highest standards. One way we’re doing this is through the innovative Crēdo™ Cube, a reusable, temperature-controlled packaging system. With Crēdo™ Cube, we’re eliminating post-consumer waste by a phenomenal 95% and significantly reducing transport emissions. We’re also reducing global warming potential by 75% when compared to using single-use packaging. We also build good environmental practice into the management and processes that make up our business, looking for cleaner, greener ways to deliver our products and services. That includes an extensive recycling programme covering paper products, cartridges, plastics and aluminium. Earlier this year, the Sharp US team in Conshohocken undertook a complete review of their waste removal practices in order to gain a greater understanding of their environmental impact.
