Sustainability and social responsibility
At Amabilia Medical , we are committed to creating a sustainable future that is safe and healthy for all.
We focus on three main areas: environment and climate, human resources development, a sustainable way of working with openness to development and change.
Environment and climate action
Our business is based on minimizing our environmental impact and we always strive to reduce our carbon footprint at all stages.
We work with world-leading manufacturers such as Intco Medical Co Ltd, who exclusively manufacture our Amabilia Pro and Amabilia Safe gloves in their state-of-the-art factories built with environmental impact in mind. Intco is certified to the international environmental standard ISO 14001, as well as ISO 13485 for medical devices, ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety.
Intco strictly abides by China's labor laws, including minimum wage laws and laws on social insurance, protection and safety in the workplace, as well as the UN Global Agreement and UN human rights laws. Intco complies with the UN Convention Article 32 and the ILO's eight core conventions No. 29, 87, 98, 100, 105, 111, 138, 182. Independent accredited institutes continuously perform audits, Amfori BSCI audits, in Intco's factories.
We transport our products from Intco factories by sea freight. A 40HQ container holds 3.5 million gloves, and each container ship brings home around 20,000 containers per shipment, resulting in minimal CO2 emissions per glove.
Our partner factory Intco is also actively engaged in many different types of environmental work, such as
- Using the roof structures of factories for solar energy installations and building their own wind farms.
- Planted more than 7,000 trees on its various factory sites to increase green space and offset CO2.
- Uses energy-saving LED lighting as well as other energy-saving equipment such as high-efficiency motors with low energy consumption, etc. to reduce and save electricity.
- Added waste heat converters on boilers to preserve heat in the factory and pipelines, reducing heat loss and reducing the amount of coal burned.
- Uses only sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging material that is FSC-certified.
- Use of coal saving agents, use of low-sulphur coal, improved boiler efficiency, and other measures to reduce coal use.
Sustainable working practices
Transparency and innovation are at the heart of our way of working, and we continuously implement new solutions that promote sustainability. Our office is equipped with solar panels and our official vehicles are electric cars, as part of our strategy to reduce our carbon footprint.
We require all our suppliers to be ISO 14001 certified to ensure they maintain global environmental and sustainability standards.
Innovation and production efficiency
We are constantly working on new innovations with a strong focus on sustainability and production efficiency. This includes developing smaller and more environmentally friendly lightweight packaging. To further reduce our environmental impact, we advocate that our customers and partners change their purchasing behavior, by placing larger orders less frequently, instead of smaller orders more often. This strategy helps to both reduce shipping costs and CO2 emissions, while improving logistics and inventory management.
Social responsibility and support to vulnerable areas
We are also committed to continuously sending donations of protective equipment, such as masks, gloves and various forms of disinfectant, to vulnerable areas in Ukraine. These efforts are part of our commitment to contribute to a better world.
At Amabilia Medical , we know that our employees are our most valuable resource. That's why we strive to create a safe, healthy, fun and supportive work environment that promotes well-being and development. We understand the importance of mental stimulation and offer flexible working conditions to promote a good work-life balance.
Our human resources policy embraces an inclusive and healthy atmosphere where we encourage open communication and are flexible for development. We work together to achieve common goals and are keen to see our staff grow internally and develop in their roles. Therefore, we are more than happy to provide tools and support for our staff to develop professionally.
We strengthen cohesion and contribute to a positive work culture through fun and stimulating staff activities. At Amabilia Medical , staff well-being is not just a goal, but a constant endeavor to ensure a workplace where everyone thrives and can reach their full potential.
At Amabilia Medical , we are dedicated to creating a sustainable future by taking responsibility for our environmental impact, our people and the way we work. We are proud of our achievements and continue to seek new and better ways to reduce our impact on the planet.
