2024 Supplier Sustainability Awards
Honouring the sustainable practices and initiatives of our suppliers
Sustainability is important to us at Laerdal. We firmly believe that a sustainable business is run by people, and we want to do the right thing for people and the planet. It is important for us to work with suppliers who share the same values and beliefs.
As part of our growing commitment to promoting long-term benefits around the world, we have been recognising business partners who share our goals with our Supplier Sustainability Awards since 2022.
We recognise them in 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.
