More than three decades of experience in dialysis, innovative research, the global leader in dialysis services and dialysis products – this is Fresenius Medical Care. Patients with kidney disease can now look to the years to come with much more confidence thanks to our innovative technologies and treatment concepts. We give them a future, one with the best-possible quality of life.
We seize the increasing demand for modern dialysis methods and work constantly and diligently on furthering the growth of our company. With our employees, we are pursuing goal-oriented strategies for continuous technological leadership. As a vertically integrated company, we offer products and services for the entire value chain in dialysis. The highest medical standards are our benchmark. This is our commitment to our patients, our partners in the healthcare system and our investors, who trust in our reliable performance and in the future of our company.
Our goal: Creating a future worth living. For people. Worldwide.
Every day.
Fresenius Medical Care’s vision to innovate for a better life also extends to our daily efforts to preserve nature and its resources for the benefit of both present and future generations.
In our European facilities, we have combined and integrated the demands of the ISO 9001:2000 quality management system and the ISO 14001 environmental management system into our business process. This concept results in a stronger focus on environmental improvement opportunities and cost-saving potentials. Following this concept, we then incorporated the first dialysis clinic in Portugal into the so-called “Integrated Management System ”based on ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001.
By introducing an “eco-ranking” we can now disclose the costs per treatment with regard to energy, water and waste. Compared with the consumption data of the previous year, we have successfully lowered the level of resources processed in each treatment. The periodic revision of our cost-saving activities furthers both our economic and ecological impact goals.
Fresenius Medical Care proved its commitment to ecological conservation with immense savings in transportation. By optimizing the monitoring and controlling of our logistic activities, and through direct shipments, we succeeded in reducing transport between suppliers and our joint venture plants. Our Multi Box System, a system that recycles containers throughout our Company, has been extended and now includes disposables used in dialysis clinics in Germany. In addition, we have continued to build up our environmentally-friendly recycling system for packaging, infusion products and plastic bags.
We plan to achieve environmental certification for Fresenius Medical Care North America. With this in mind, we will continually intensify our waste minimization program efforts for solid, medical and hazardous waste. This will be accomplished by monitoring all medical waste costs in our dialysis clinics on a quarterly basis. This monitoring focuses on the generation of medical waste and its correct separation and disposal. Recycling programs for cardboard, plastics and metal waste generated at our production facility in North America have been initiated. We expect our suppliers to meet certain environmental requirements and avoid any adverse environmental impact on the community.
Our internationally oriented personnel policy serves to specifically promote employees in accordance with their qualifications and their specialist and personal skills, according to the needs of the company.
We consider the further training of our employees to be a prerequisite for the innovative power of Fresenius Medical Care, and thus to be an investment in the future of our company.
Many companies want the best people. We want the right people.
We will expect you to significantly contribute to the dynamic power which characterises our company - in particular you have to be prepared to take over responsibility quickly and to adapt to new challenges.
We set our objectives clearly - for only then can we achieve them. This is why Fresenius Medical Care is the world's leading provider of dialysis products and services. More than 60,000 employees in North America, Europe, Latin America, Middle East & Africa as well as Asia-Pacific work together to guarantee best-possible quality of life for 172,227 patients with chronic kidney failure in our 2,221 dialysis clinics.
