Sustainability

CEO Statement

Sustainability at Straumann means carefully considering the long-term impacts of today’s decisions on our business, our customers, our employees, and the communities in which we operate. Only by balancing all of these facets will we be a truly sustainable business.

The fact that Straumann has come through an extremely challenging period of global economic turmoil without compromising on quality, customer service, innovation, education and jobs gives me pride and confidence in the Group’s robustness.

In 2011, we will maintain our deep commitment to the success of every customer and the well-being of every patient. We will also maintain our commitment to evidence-based dentistry and to ethical and accurate sales and marketing activities. Guided by new Leadership Principles, we shall develop talent within our organization, in addition to fostering and managing diversity. Apart from this, our contributions to charitable programs that provide dental treatment to the underprivileged will continue to make a difference around the world.

In 2010 we began work on our ‘Vision 2020’ project, which looks at how Straumann can best serve the needs of customers and patients over the next ten years. This is a strategic priority, and I believe it is one of the most important steps we can take today towards a sustainable tomorrow.
