Making a lasting impact
We work together with our healthcare partners, employees and communities to identify the places—and the causes—where we can make the biggest impact.

Global health
Through our Global Health Initiative, we leverage employee skills and expertise to create solutions that empower clinicians and help people in low-resource settings receive the healthcare they deserve.

Community impact
We help strengthen our communities by partnering with nonprofit organizations addressing social determinants of health to achieve health equity.

Sustainability
Our sustainability solutions help protect the environment. From our eco-friendly products and programs to our renewable energy investments, we’re working to make healthcare more sustainable.

Diversity & inclusion
By recognizing and celebrating the diversity of our employees and creating an inclusive workplace, we tap into their unique perspectives, which allows us to create innovative solutions for our customers.

Employee health & well-being
The foundation of our success is our people. Their tireless dedication and hard work is what enables us to make healthcare run better, which is why we prioritize our employees’ well-being.

Ethics & compliance
We’re committed to high ethical and business standards and expect all our employees to behave honestly and with integrity in every part of our business.
In 2021, Medline focused on investments in renewable energy, elevating clinical knowledge in low-resource countries and continuing to address social determinants of health. This 2021 CSR Report details the work completed last year to make a positive and substantive impact in these areas of focus. It also illustrates our commitment to building new, strong foundations and measurable results across the communities in which we live and work.

“In line with the maturation of our Corporate Social Responsibility program, we are transitioning to a global Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) model. The work we’ve done to be a positive social and environmental steward has had a tangible effect on the health systems we partner with and the communities we serve, and we are eager to adopt a data-driven approach to impact that requires deeper integration, coordination and transparency—all in an effort to make healthcare more sustainable and equitable.”

Supporting UN sustainable development goals
Our vision for building a better world is closely tied to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015. The SDGs are 17 global initiatives for achieving a sustainable future for all by the year 2030. The work we do to create positive social change aligns with many of these goals, including those to protect the health and well-being of all people, promote sustainable economic growth and ensure access to affordable, clean energy.
