| B. SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS (Environmental and Corporate Governance Focused) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Sustainability projects involve the clinic’s commitment to maintaining its long-term existence while taking responsibility for environmental and resource efficiency. | ||
| Field | Project Name | Activities and Expected Impact |
| Environment (Waste Management) | 1. Mercury/Amalgam Recycling | Collect amalgam filling waste (containing mercury, therefore classified as hazardous) according to legal regulations and deliver it to authorized recycling companies following zero-leakage principles. |
| Environment (Plastic Use) | 2. Reduction of Single-Use Materials | Transition to biodegradable or sterilizable reusable products wherever possible (e.g., using paper cups instead of plastic ones, disinfectable material holders). |
| Environment (Energy and Resources) | 3. Digital Clinic Transformation | Digitize patient files, appointment, and billing processes to reduce paper consumption by 80% annually. Switch to energy-efficient LED lighting and sensor-operated faucets. |
| Social & Governance | 4. Local Supply and Collaboration | Collaborate continuously with the local Chamber of Dentists, universities, or local dental laboratories to support the local economy and strengthen local expertise. |
| 5. Employee Well-being and Ergonomics | Provide ergonomics training and regular exercise breaks to reduce occupational strain and deformation risks for clinic staff working long hours. | |
C. MEASUREMENT AND REPORTING
To ensure transparency in sustainability and social responsibility, these projects are monitored regularly.
Reporting: An annual summary of social responsibility activities (number of people reached, total volunteer hours) is published on our website.
Monitoring: Environmental data such as waste management, energy, and water consumption are regularly measured and reviewed in Executive Board Meetings to evaluate progress toward the set goals.
