At Henry Schein, we understand that the health of people is deeply connected to the health of the environments where we live and work. Clean air, safe water, and thriving ecosystems are essential to healthy communities—and we have a responsibility to help protect them.

That’s why environmental sustainability is a core part of how we operate. We focus on reducing our impact, promoting responsible sourcing, and supporting health care practices in making environmentally mindful choices. By working together with our partners across the supply chain, we aim to preserve natural resources and support a healthier future for all.

Our Strategy: Driving Positive Environmental Impact Across Our Value Chain

We take a science- and evidence-based approach to sustainability—guided by measurable goals and rooted in our responsibility to act. Our strategy is focused on four key areas that allow us to protect natural ecosystems while delivering value to our customers, communities, and industry:

Empowering Sustainable Health Care Practices

Practice Green

Through our Practice Green initiative, we provide health care professionals with products, solutions, and practical resources that help reduce their environmental footprint—without compromising quality of care. From more sustainable materials to waste-reduction tools, Practice Green supports practices in making small changes that add up to meaningful environmental benefits.

Supporting Community-Led Environmental Stewardship

Green Team Schein

Our team members across the globe take part in hands-on environmental volunteering efforts like beach clean-ups, tree planting, and garden building. These activities not only improve local ecosystems—they also foster a culture of environmental responsibility and community care within our organization.

Building a More Responsible Supply Chain

We’re actively transforming our operations and logistics to reduce waste and conserve water, with the goal of contributing to a circular economy. This includes rethinking packaging, improving resource efficiency, and sourcing products and services from suppliers that align with our environmental values.

Advancing a Long-Term Vision for Environmental Health

Net Zero 2050 Roadmap

While we work toward long-term goals to reduce our environmental footprint, we continue to take steps today that make a difference. Our Net Zero 2050 plan provides a clear path forward, with company-wide goals to lower emissions and promote resource efficiency throughout our operations—always with the health of people and the planet in mind.

Transparency and Accountability

We believe in measuring our progress and sharing it openly. Through annual sustainability reporting—including our CDP disclosures and environmental risk assessments—we hold ourselves accountable and ensure our actions are aligned with our values.

By working together across our business and industry, we’re creating ripple effects that help protect ecosystems, improve public health, and support the well-being of generations to come.
