Supporting employees, strengthening communities and empowering suppliers.
OUR APPROACH
Helping others reach their full health potential
We want to empower our people and communities to achieve their full potential by:
- Promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) across our organization
- Creating opportunities for connection and development for our employees
- Maintaining the highest standards of safety and health in the workplace
- Advancing health equity in our communities and around the world
OUR PEOPLE
3 ways we support our employees
Diversity, equity and inclusion
Creating an environment where everyone can be their authentic selves and thrive.
Ongoing engagement
We listen to our employees and ensure their voices are heard.
Health and safety efforts
Emphasizing environmental health and safety and championing employee well-being.
OUR COMMUNITIES
Advancing health equity, here and around the world
Community engagement
Caring for our communities’ health and wellbeing is fundamental to our social engagement. We recognise awareness is the first step to addressing social detriments to health.
In 2024, our Charity & Volunteer Committee launched the Passion Projects Program. This program supports our employees to lead a charitable activity, providing essential contributions to a cause close to their heart. Charities included Cancer Council, Ronald McDonald House, Movember and Foodbank.
Over $11,600 raised for our supported charities; 375 Medline-sponsored volunteer hours; 461kg food donations.
Healthcare access and affordability
Much of the world lives in a clinical desert, unable to access basic care. Medline partners with nonprofits and health clinics all over the world, tapping into employee skills and expertise to create solutions that empower clinicians and communities to help people get the healthcare they deserve.
OUR SUPPLIERS
Building relationships with social enterprises
In 2023 we invited Communiteer, a social enterprise, to facilitate a Supplier Diversity Education Program for the Medline ANZ team. We are currently building a Social Procurement Preferred Supplier List to advocate for local and social procurement where appropriate.
