Sustainability
Health - For People and the Planet
Merz Lifecare supports people in living a healthy life. Our tetesept, Merz Spezial, and Brooklyn Soap Company products empower consumers to make good choices about their health and well-being. Healthy life, however, requires a healthy planet. That is why sustainability is such an important part of our business strategy.
Our Sustainability Agenda
Part of our sustainability strategy is designed after the 17 UN-Sustainability Development Goals. Our main business and sustainability focus is Goal 3: Good health and well-being. Our sustainability measures also go beyond already established goals.
We have adopted the ESG framework for our sustainability goals. We are convinced that corporations can only move towards sustainability when environmental, social, and governance issues are treated as a whole (ESG).
Within the three E, S, and G categories, we are focused on two topics as depicted below:
Sustainable and measurable
We want our sustainability efforts to be transparent and measurable. That’s why we have set concrete goals - first for 2025, then for 2030 - in accordance with the UN-Agenda 2030.
Our sustainability agenda is an integral part of our Merz Lifecare business strategy. Our sustainability governance is designed to ensure its implementation and encompasses all areas of our business. Its values, culture, figures, processes, and rules serve as a supplement to running our business. Our Merz Lifecare executive team is responsible for our sustainability strategy and implementation, while its development, advancement, and execution are anchored in Research & Development (R&D), with the Chief Scientific and Sustainability Officer at its helm.
The powerful green heart of Merz Lifecare is our Sustainability Team
Supervised by the Head of Sustainability, there’s a multi-facetted team with various job descriptions and comprised of many different departments, including business development, contract manufacturing, corporate communications, human resources, marketing, packaging, and sales, as well as members of our subsidiaries in Austria and the Brooklyn Soap GmbH.
