Our Pillars of Sustainable Development
More Sustainable Production
Integrating environmental and social concerns throughout our value chain, from raw materials to the end of our products’ life cycle.
Supporting Responsible Purchasing
Incorporating environmental, social, ethical, and quality criteria into our procurement of goods and services.
Rooting the Company in Local Communities
Maintaining lasting cooperative ties in the regions where RAFFIN MEDICAL is established, to support the local economy and community organizations.
Adapting Our HR and Management Policy
Strengthening internal policies to promote quality of life at work, as well as employee health and safety.
Our Goal: Acting to Safeguard Everyone’s Health and Facilitate Access to Care
Sustainable development is therefore at the heart of all our practices.
Through our membership in the United Nations Global Compact since 2014, we are committed to protecting the environment and respecting human rights, while taking into account the interests of all our stakeholders.
Driven by this commitment, we have integrated CSR into our 5-year business plan. In 2019, a CSR project group made up of volunteer employees was created to implement and monitor actions in collaboration with all company departments.
Today, this group has become the CSR Ambassadors Committee. Composed of engaged employees, it plays an operational role by carrying out initiatives and promoting the approach internally. Our action plan is structured around four pillars, covering the 10 principles of the Global Compact and the guidelines of the ISO 26000 standard.
Since 2023, a dedicated CSR Manager has joined the company to further structure and develop Raffin Medical’s CSR strategy.
To measure, track, and communicate the progress of our approach, our actions have been evaluated by EcoVadis since 2022. After obtaining the “Committed / Engaged Company” badge in 2024, Raffin Medical reached a new milestone in 2025 with the EcoVadis Bronze Medal, thus joining the top 35% of the most committed companies in terms of sustainable development.
In this spirit of continuous improvement, we have defined our 2030 vision: to achieve the EcoVadis Gold Medal and become a CSR benchmark in our sector.
In addition, we are members of the Central Purchasing Agency for Private and Public Healthcare (CAHPP), which assesses our involvement each year in building a corporate social responsibility strategy.
We achieved the Green Index A+ rating in 2025.
We are also members of the AFNOR Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes CSR Issues Club and the CSR Group of SNITEM (French National Association of the Medical Technology Industry).
These networks allow us to engage with fellow member companies through thematic meetings to review key CSR challenges, share best practices, and benefit from collective feedback and experience.
2024 CSR Report
Each year, we publish our CSR Report to assess the performance and development of our practices according to the indicators set up for each action.
Gender equality index
The Gender Equality Index enables companies to assess their standing in terms of professional equality between women and men. Each year, companies with at least 50 employees are legally required to calculate their gender equality index, which must be equal to or greater than 75%.
For the year 2024, some indicators were not calculable, making it impossible to determine an overall score for the Index.
