2024 Supplier Sustainability Awards
Honoring the sustainable practices and initiatives of our suppliers
Sustainability matters here at Laerdal. We have a deep belief that a sustainable business is human-led, and we want to do the right thing for people and the planet. It is important for us to work with suppliers that have the same values and beliefs.
As part of our growing commitment to fostering long-term benefit across the globe, our Supplier Sustainability Awards, started in 2022, highlight our business partners that share our goals.
We honor two categories: Environmental Protection and Social Responsibility.
Social Responsibility Award
We believe that good social responsibility deserves great recognition! For this award, we wish to recognize a supplier that is making a big difference in this area.
