Henry Schein 2014 Annual Report Download - page 10

More than 18,000 Team
Schein Members in 29
countries serve more than
one million customers
around the world. And, as
our sales have grown from
approximately $600 million in 1995 when Henry Schein first
became a publicly traded company, to more than $10 billion
in 2014, so has our ability to “help health happen” through
Henry Schein Cares, the Company’s global corporate social
responsibility program.
Henry Schein Cares was established on the philosophy of
enlightened self-interest — a belief that we can “do well by
doing good.” Enlightened self-interest is an opportunity to
create shared value for society and business.
We firmly believe that “doing well by doing good” is a
powerful engine that drives Henry Schein’s ability to create
long-term economic and social value. Henry Schein’s deep
commitment to balancing the needs of the full spectrum of
stakeholders — our team, our customers, our suppliers, our
investors, and society — has been central to our success.
Henry Schein carries out its commitment to corporate social
responsibility by creating programs and driving strategic
initiatives that fall within four key areas of focus: Access to
Health Care, Team Schein Engagement, Environmental
Sustainability, and Accountability.
ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE
Because no single corporation can solve all of society’s
problems, a company must select issues that intersect with
its particular business. In Henry Schein’s case, we seek to
create shared value by expanding access to health care for
underserved and vulnerable populations around the world.
We promote wellness, prevention, treatment and education;
provide emergency preparedness and relief; and build health
care capacity by strengthening educational platforms to train
health professionals and enhancing health care infrastructure.
TEAM SCHEIN ENGAGEMENT
A key part of our Team Schein culture is a deep commitment
to serving the communities in which we operate and giving
back to society. Team Schein Members around the world
participate in community outreach through their active
engagement in a myriad of flagship corporate volunteer and
community service programs. Being a member of Team
Schein provides ongoing opportunities to contribute to the
Company’s larger effort to making the world a better place.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Henry Schein firmly believes that protecting the health of
our planet is an important part of our commitment to “helping
health happen.” We embrace the principles of environmental
stewardship at our corporate facilities by minimizing the
consumption of resources and reducing negative
environmental impacts. We also promote environmental
sustainability among our customers by encouraging the
“greening” of health professionals’ offices, supporting efforts
to reduce their total carbon footprint with the use of eco-
friendly products, and creating office spaces that meet
world-recognized sustainability and green design standards.
ACCOUNTABILITY
For 83 years, Henry Schein has built an environment of ethics
and compliance that is based on our Team Schein Values
and our commitment to our five constituencies. We ensure
accountability by upholding ethical standards in all areas
and levels of our business.
