Embracing Environmental Responsibility with Purpose

Long-term decisions at NIPRO are guided by the Japanese economic philosophy of Sanpo Yoshi – the “triple victory” – that sustainable growth relies on harmonizing benefits to all stakeholders: our company, our customers, and the communities we serve.  NIPRO serves a global community, and so the mission ahead of us is clear.

Climate change affects every NIPRO employee, every customer, and every community we serve in the EMEA region. From catastrophic floods in Spain and Italy to record-breaking temperatures across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, the accumulation of dire consequences for reckless, unchecked growth is today undeniable.

Growing sustainably must be our highest guiding priority as a company, embracing stewardship of the planet our children will inherit. As we continue to expand across the EMEA region, we must reduce our environmental impact, proceeding with caution and accountability. 

The latest milestone in this mission was to ensure the alignment of our environmental policy with global standards.  Today, we are proud to announce that this milestone has been achieved.

ISO Certification of our Environmental Management System

NIPRO is proud to announce the successful ISO certification of NIPRO Medical Europe’s Environmental Management System (EMS).

Achieving ISO 14001 certification is a significant milestone for any organization. It demonstrates a commitment to environmental management and sustainable practices. 

By adhering to ISO 14001 standards, an organization implements effective environmental management systems (EMS), helping to reduce waste, improve resource efficiency and minimize environmental impact. These achievements contribute to a healthier planet for future generations.

Our leadership champions environmental accountability ensuring it is embedded across our strategy, culture, and daily operations.

Sustainability isn’t just a corporate initiative, it’s a responsibility. Every step we take matters.
