    Building a healthier, more sustainable future through innovation and ethical practices

Sustainable healthcare innovation

At Flen Health, sustainability is not only a value, but a responsibility embedded in our actions. Guided by our code of conduct, we aim to deliver healthcare innovations that foster positive change for society and the environment by aligning our operations with global sustainability goals.

This page serves as a hub for updates on our sustainability initiatives. We believe in transparency and invite you to subscribe to our mailing list for the latest news on our progress and upcoming developments.

As we continue our carbon reduction journey, we’re leveraging both internal resources and trusted external partnerships to meet our ambitious environmental targets. With careful planning and continuous improvement, we are dedicated to fostering a more sustainable future for the planet and our patients.

Climate action commitment

We are deeply committed to minimizing our environmental footprint, with a particular focus on expanding the use of clean energy.

Our headquarters and laboratory in Luxembourg operate in a modern, energy-efficient building that utilizes renewable energy sources such as rainwater, sunlight, and air to regulate temperature and provide hot sanitary water. In Kontich, the installation of solar panels further strengthens our commitment to green energy solutions.

Sustainable practices and supply chain responsibility

In our laboratories, we prioritize smart waste management, efficient use of equipment, and the responsible handling of samples and chemicals. These initiatives are key to reducing our impact while ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality.

We recognise that sustainability extends beyond our operations to our supply chain. We aim to work with suppliers who align with our values and meet high standards for environmental and social responsibility. While we continue to develop ways to measure and support this commitment, it reflects our broad goal of ensuring that sustainability principles are embedded throughout our business practices.

Quality education

Education powers our journey to sustainable health and environmental stewardship

Education is a fundamental pillar in our sustainability journey. We believe that by empowering healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients with the knowledge to use our products effectively, we contribute to a more sustainable healthcare system. Our educational efforts include promoting sustainable practices, such as reducing waste and optimizing resource use, enabling individuals to make informed choices for both their health and the environment.

We also support education through internships, providing young people with hands-on experience, and by investing in continuous learning for our staff. This commitment fosters innovation in sustainable product development and operational practices, ensuring that both current and future generations are prepared to address unmet medical needs and environmental challenges.

By embedding sustainability into our educational initiatives, we are better positioned to deliver health solutions that benefit both people and the planet. At the same time, we empower our teams to drive continuous improvement across all aspects of our operations.

Carbon Accounting Report 2023 and Carbon Reduction Plan

Our commitment to reducing environmental impact is at the core of everything we do. In 2023, we conducted a comprehensive carbon accounting review of our emissions and established a Carbon Reduction Plan aimed at achieving net-zero emissions in the UK by 2045.

By integrating sustainability into every aspect of our work, we ensure that our innovations not only enhance patients’ lives today but also contribute to a healthier planet for future generations.
