Jones Healthcare recognizes and embraces our responsibilities to the sustainability of our environment and society. We are committed to continuous improvement while creating value for all our stakeholders.
We focus on three key areas for sustainable development: environment, social responsibility, and business model innovation.
Download our latest Corporate Sustainability Report, which shows how we are making progress against our focus areas, based on our Corporate Sustainability Policy.
Our focus areas are based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations to transform our world.
By evaluating the key sustainability issues affecting our team members, clients, suppliers and other stakeholders, we identified the 11 SDGs where we can make the most impact, setting these as priorities across our global business.
We participate in supplier sustainability assessments through EcoVadis and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Our annual disclosure through these market-leading supply chain assessment programs allows our clients to assess our performance and risk, based on comparable international sustainability standards.
