Our purpose is to make life-saving technology accessible to more people
We want to contribute to a society where social equity grows, where human rights are protected, and diversity and gender equality are enhanced. This includes working to ensure that all people have access to quality care and a healthy living environment. It also means building a diverse and collaborative organization of employees who can add to the development of our customers and of society.
Strive for a positive change
We strive to make a positive contribution to the communities we are active in. For example, all employees are offered time off each month to support voluntary organizations and charities in the communities where they live and work. We also collaborate with non-profit organizations such as WaterAid and Pratham, both on a global and local level.
Strive to increase access to healthcare
We are committed to help ensuring that patients have easy and rapid access to the best possible healthcare. We do this by providing for example digital solutions to increase efficiency and tailor-made financing to ensure that caregivers have the tools and support they need to improve and save lives.
Knowledge sharing with governments and regulators
We contribute with our knowledge to governments and regulators in their work to develop public health priorities in the light of growing populations and longer life expectancies.
Dedicated to human rights
Our dedication to upholding human rights is established in our Code of Conduct, with the commitment that human rights should be respected throughout our operations, regardless of where in the world we operate.
Promote equal opportunity
Our global Diversity Directive clearly outlines that all employees have equal opportunities based on competence, experience and performance, regardless of gender identity, race, ethnicity, religion, age, marital or parental status, disability, sexual orientation, nationality, political opinion, union affiliation, social background and/or other characteristics protected by applicable law.
Support education initiatives
We have an engagement in local communities and work for positive change through education initiatives. For example, we contribute to the Pratham initiative “Swedish Industry for Quality Education in India”, which focuses on helping children in the Assam region in India learn to read and count.
Pratham
Getinge supports Pratham since 2018. The cooperation with Pratham is based on our strong belief that education is a powerful way out of poverty. Getinge contributes through the initiative ‘Swedish Industry for Quality Education in India’, which focuses on helping children in the Assam region learn to read and count.
Diversity & Equality
Getinge strongly believes that diversity is a driver of innovation, culture and talent attraction. As we want to be an attractive employer, both for today’s and tomorrow’s employees, providing equal employment and development opportunities to all employees – regardless of gender, race, religion and other irrelevant contextual factors – is the foundation for all our efforts.
Human Rights
Every person around the world deserves to be treated with dignity and equality. Our dedication to human rights, regardless of where in the world we operate, is established in our Code of Conduct and Human Rights Policy. Any Getinge employee who suspects violations of our policy is expected to speak up, and the company is committed to investigate and act appropriately.
