Demant is a member of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). We report annually on our actions, initiatives and results based on the 10 UNGC principles within the areas of human rights, labour rights, environmental and anti-corruption.
We support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and contribute to their success through our core-business. We contribute to SDGs 3, 4, 8, 9, and 12.
Demant products and services improve the quality of life of users and patients and we contribute to increasing the availability of a healthy and skilled workforce. As a catalyst for jobs, we stimulate the economy while protecting human and labour rights as well as promoting responsible supply chain management. By providing scientific research, upgrading the technological capabilities of relevant industrial sectors, and encouraging innovation, we boost R&D spending, as well as continue to pursue substituting more sustainable materials in our operations, production and products, with a current focus on reducing generation of waste through prevention, reduction and recycling.
We also pay special attention to SDG 5, 13 and 16. With people at our core, we aspire to create a more diverse and inclusive culture, support the Paris Agreement by joining a Danish climate committee, address our own climate impact while seeking to reduce it and commit to ensuring ethical business practices and compliance.
