Atrium Clinic Climate and Sustainability Policy

SUSTAINABILITY POLICY

Update May 25

1. IntroductionAtrium Clinic believes that our business can only succeed where we meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We firmly support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals particularly those relating to the responsibility of business to manage currently available resources and to protect our natural environment from any adverse impacts as far as our service contracts allow.

   Atrium Clinic commits to the UN 10 Principles, including these three which directly support our sustainability goals:

• support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges
• undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility
• and encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies.
• Our work in this area is overseen by Atrium’s Chief Executive Officer, supported by our managers and colleagues
• Atrium Clinic must strive to conduct our operations consistent with these Goals and Principals at all links within our supply chain, in our facilities and through the lifecycle of our products.

• Re-use –We commit to evaluate options to rebuild, restore equipment in the clinic including computer, tech and clinical resources.

4. Partner Commitments

Our principle is that where national law and international sustainability-related legal standards differ, we will follow the higher standard; where they are in conflict, we will adhere to national law, while seeking ways to respect international sustainability goals to the greatest extent possible.

1. In our business dealings we promote our sustainability commitments.

iii. We are also committed to a socially responsible partnership network and a socially responsible approach to our employees.

Iv.  Supply Chain and Partnership Approach.  We will only work with suppliers who implement and agree to abide by our terms and conditions, namely they must agree to ensure transparency, to remedy any shortcomings, and to drive continuous improvement.

5. Meeting Our Commitments – Monitoring, Remedying & Reporting.

We are committed to monitoring our Partners’ adherence to this approach. We recognize that we must take steps to identify and raise any actual or potential adverse impacts with which we may be involved, whether directly or indirectly, through our own activities or our business relationships. We manage these risks by integrating the responses to our due diligence into internal systems, acting on the findings, tracking our actions, and communicating with our stakeholders about our concerns and how we can address impacts together.
