Relationship Building for Change

Relationship Building for Change

Henry Schein understands the importance of partnering and maintaining our strong network of relationships with the health care profession, supply chain industry, nongovernmental entities, our customers, our Team Schein Members, and governments in the locations where we operate to uphold our values. We do this by focusing on the following areas:

Catalyzing and advancing health access globally by deepening relationships that incorporate multi-pronged initiatives to strengthen our priority professional and industry partnerships.

Conducting ourselves with a high degree of ethics and integrity in all our actions to maintain our strong partnerships with various governments.

Our commitment to upholding human rights standards in all areas of our business and support the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, which provides a practical, useful framework for businesses to manage and address the Company's human rights impacts in the supply chain.

Maintaining high-quality standards when it comes to customer health and safety. Our Henry Schein Quality Policy reflects our commitment to quality at every level of the organization.

Foundational governance structure that is well integrated into our business strategy and operations to manage sustainability risks and opportunities appropriately to build a more resilient business.

Here are a selection of key programs, partnerships, and ways in which we reinforce our relationships for change:
