Sustainability A Matter for the Heart

We are committed to our ESG goals and our dedication to sustainability extends beyond business objectives; it's a core value that guides every aspect of our operations, helping us create a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come.

For over 60 years we have been saving the lives of patients and improving their quality of life with our innovative products and solutions. At the same time, we are aware that sustainability has many dimensions and that the world is experiencing a historic transformation toward a greener, more social and better-governed economy. BIOTRONIK is actively helping to shape these changes and is committed to more sustainability. As a global medical technology company, we are aware of our responsibility towards people and the environment and we know that the task of helping to shape a more sustainable future has never been so clear nor as urgent as it is today.

To do this we are continuously developing innovative, sustainable and unique solutions and products, and we offer our customers excellent service.

A Clear Strategy Sets the Direction

With our 2030 Sustainability Strategy, we’ll ensure that more people have access to high-quality medical technology and that the available resources of our planet are used and protected in the best possible way.

The sustainability strategy focuses our previously individual activities, provides orientation and ensures that our actions have an impact. It will help us to anchor sustainability in our decision-making over the long term, to set the right focus and to clearly communicate our goals to both internal and external stakeholders.

With the aid of a materiality analysis, we identified and evaluated the most significant sustainability topics for us. Based on those results we have distilled out three strategic areas of action with nine focus topics for our 2030 Sustainability Strategy.
