sustainability matters to your patients and your practice
Research shows that Canadian consumers are paying more attention to the sustainability practices of the companies they choose to do business with—and we know it matters to you and your colleagues as well. This presents an opportunity for you to differentiate your practice by implementing sustainable practices and choosing to prescribe products from companies that do the same.
our ongoing commitment to sustainability
Plastic plays a critical role in the hygienic delivery and sterile protection of our products4, “ and how that plastic is managed is important to us. We’re dedicated to more than developing quality products that help people see better each day. clariti® 1 day is manufactured in Alajuela, Costa Rica and MyDay® is manufactured in Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico, at a manufacturing site built with sustainability in mind, demonstrating that we have a strong track record of doing so with environmental responsibility.
our conscious—and constant—conservation
At CooperVision®, we’re continuously working to make a positive impact on the environment and operate more sustainably because it’s the right thing to do—for our employees, our customers, our business, and our planet. From production improvements designed to conserve water to efforts that recycle nearly 100% of the plastics used in production*, we’re prioritizing environmentally responsible practices across four key areas: water, energy, recycling, and people.
sustainability in manufacturing
measuring our results
a continuing heritage of sustainability
Sustainability in manufacturing is only the beginning of our story. The next phase of our journey will continue to focus on making a mindful impact and improve our ability to operate more sustainably. Our approach is evolutionary, as we continually evaluate, innovate, and improve to make an impact today and in the future.
