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 integrated CSR into our five-year corporate plan. A CSR project group, made up of volunteer employees, was established in 2019 to implement and monitor actions in collaboration with all departments of the company.
Today, the CSR project group has become the CSR Ambassadors Committee. Composed of volunteer employees, this committee oversees the operational side of our approach by carrying out initiatives and promoting CSR internally. Our action plan is built around four pillars, aligned with the 10 principles of the Global Compact and the ISO 26000 guidelines.
Since 2023, a dedicated person has joined Raffin Medical to structure and further develop the company’s CSR strategy.
To measure, monitor, and communicate the progress of our approach, we have been evaluated by EcoVadis since 2022. In 2024, we received the “Committed Company” badge and are aiming this year for the Bronze Medal, with the goal of joining the top 35% of companies most committed to sustainable development.
As part of this continuous improvement dynamic, we defined in 2025 our vision for 2030, with the ambition of achieving the EcoVadis Gold Medal.
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 2024.
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.
