Delivering innovation in an accountable way
As a global business and significant local employer, we have responsibilities to our people and planet.
As we conduct our business, we are acutely aware of balancing purpose and profit and are continually reviewing how we can support real progress, from a positive environmental impact to ethical leadership.
We are continually striving to mitigate the environmental outcomes of our actions and provide the utmost care for the health and well-being of our employees.
We have made some great progress since our Environmental Steering Group was formed in 2014 but we understand there is still important work to be done. Our 2030 targets show our commitment to this journey.
Our Science Based Targets initiative
As part of our sustainability action plan, we joined the Business Ambition for 1.5°c commitment and are one of the first 1000 global businesses to sign up. The initiative asks members to pledge to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and combat the devastating effects of a 1.5°c increase in global temperatures.
We also joined the Race to Zero movement, a collaborative effort of leaders across the globe supporting efforts to achieve zero carbon recovery. To formalise our pledge to reduce the environmental impact of operations, we have now set a science-based target to achieve net zero by 2045.

Responsible Action Report 2024
Owen Mumford is one of the first medical device companies in the world to achieve B Corp certification and has set science-based targets to achieve net zero by 2045, as part of its long-established and continually evolving sustainability agenda. In this year’s report, we want to go through how the medical device industry can review and maybe rethink how its products are made, and how business is carried out.
We hope to inspire other companies in our sector to implement their own real action plan and work towards the goal of safe and sustainable future for everyone.

9 Industry Innovation and Infrastructure
In the US, a two-year safety audit for our facility was completed this year with an 8.8% improvement in the final score compared to the previous year. In 2021 we completed the consolidation of our third party storage provision within the UK; reducing from three down to one service provider. The most significant improvement was with our UK storage and fulfillment services, eliminating all replenishment transport, resulting in shorter lead times to our customers. Overall we have saved over 24,000 miles through this consolidation.
12 Responsible consumption and production
We continue to source from local supply chains where possible to manage our carbon footprint and improve efficiencies. All our sites have recycling policies for waste cardboard, cartons and we reuse transport materials such as pallets whenever possible.


13 Climate action
We will continue to monitor, evaluate, and improve our existing processes, suppliers, and technology to support this commitment and protect our future.
We have implemented energy reduction initiatives across our operations in the UK, USA, and Malaysia, reducing our scope one and two carbon emissions by over a quarter (27.3%). The electricity supplies in our UK and French sites are supplied by green energy tariffs, and a percentage of energy for our UK sites is supplied from local solar sources. We have also reduced the number of fuel tanks in our UK head office and will remove all remaining tanks by 2022.
