As Australia’s leading distributor of dental products, Henry Schein is proud to announce the launch of Practice Green, a sustainability initiative aimed at empowering healthcare providers in Australia and around the world to adopt greener practices. Through this program, Henry Schein will offer environmentally friendly products, services, and support to help dental professionals deliver highquality care while reducing their environmental impact, as well as making improvements to all parts of the supply chain to reduce the environmental impact.
In recent years, Australia has experienced significant impacts from global warming, including prolonged droughts, devastating bushfires, and widespread flooding. These adverse weather conditions are becoming increasingly common, underscoring the pressing need for immediate and effective action to address the issue.
It is imperative that as leaders and business owners, we take proactive measures together to mitigate the effects of global warming and work towards a more sustainable future.
“At Henry Schein, we understand the importance of sustainability and our role in creating a healthier future for our planet and future generations. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our Practice Green initiative, which underlines our commitment to mitigate our impact on the climate by reducing our carbon footprint and promoting eco-friendly practices throughout all areas of our business.
With Practice Green, we also aim to provide solutions to support, educate, and enhance the environmental sustainability efforts of our customers,” says Mike Covey Vice President and Managing Director ANZ, Henry Schein. “We are confident that through this initiative, we will be able to make a meaningful difference and help create a more sustainable future for all.”
Henry Schein Australia is committed to cocreating a circular and carbon-neutral supply chain in collaboration with its supplier partners and customers. The products that will be available through Practice Green have been carefully selected based on information provided by the supplier partner on their eco-friendly qualities, such as being reusable, made from recycled materials, biodegradable, or from sustainable sources.
The Practice Green program will continue to expand over time, with new solutions added to its portfolio as the healthcare landscape evolves. As healthcare has a significant impact on the environment, Henry Schein believes that taking action now will help protect the planet and its natural resources, while building a healthier Australia and World for all.
