Social Responsibility

Social Responsibility at Praxisdienst

Committed to sustainability, fair working conditions and responsible supply chains.

Why We Take Responsibility

As an owner-managed company with over 65 years of experience, we stand for sustainable growth, long-term thinking, and responsible action. Social responsibility is a core part of our corporate philosophy.

Our daily work is guided by clear values: respect, fairness, and sustainability. We take responsibility at every level – towards customers, employees, suppliers, and the wider community.

We believe economic success and social responsibility go hand in hand. That’s why we prioritise sustainable processes, fair working conditions, and transparent partnerships at every stage of our operations – from suppliers to delivery.

Our aim is to remain a reliable partner – today and in the future.

Taking Responsibility – Today and Tomorrow

Environment

We focus on conserving resources, implementing energy-efficient processes, and reducing emissions to protect our environment sustainably.

Employees

Fair working conditions, diversity, and a culture of respect are at the heart of everything we do, forming the foundation for motivation and long-term success.

Supply Chain

By setting clear standards, choosing partners responsibly, and maintaining transparent procurement processes, we guarantee sustainable quality throughout our entire supply chain.

Sustainable Action – Protecting Resources

As a global company, Praxisdienst continually strengthens its environmental efforts, prioritizing energy-efficient infrastructure, low-emission logistics, and the responsible management of packaging and resources.

Photovoltaics

Our solar panels make efficient use of roof space, already generating enough electricity for our logistics operations, with potential for full self-sufficiency in the future.

Wind Power Pilot Project

Our state-of-the-art wind turbine allows us to test renewable energy in real-world conditions and assess its long-term potential for sustainable power generation.

LED Lighting

By using modern LED technology, we significantly cut energy consumption, extend the lifespan of our lighting, and reduce both environmental impact and heat generation.

Waste Reduction

We minimise packaging waste through optimised processes and increasingly use automated packaging solutions that cut boxes to size and eliminate unnecessary filler material.

CO₂ Reduction

We send our printed materials via Deutsche Post/DHL’s CO₂-neutral GoGreen programme, while our product packages are delivered climate-neutrally with DPD, ensuring a more sustainable shipping process.

Electric Fleet

We are gradually expanding our fleet with electric vehicles to cut emissions and transition fully to climate-friendly mobility in the long term.

Smart Packaging Systems for Less Waste and Greater Efficiency

As a provider of medical products and logistics solutions, Praxisdienst relies on innovative packaging technologies to reduce waste sustainably. By using automated on-demand carton production systems, packages are tailored precisely to each order.

These on-demand packaging solutions not only cut the use of cardboard but also significantly reduce the need for additional filler material. At the same time, perfectly sized packaging allows for more efficient use of transport volume, further lowering CO₂ emissions in logistics.

For our medical customers, this means: less packaging waste in clinics and practices, easier disposal, and an overall more sustainable shipping process.

Because Sustainable Success Always Starts with People

Our employees are the foundation of our success. That’s why we see it as our responsibility to create a work environment grounded in fairness, respect, and long-term perspective. Only those who feel valued can remain engaged, motivated, and successful over the long term.

✔ Diversity, Equal Opportunity, and Respectful Collaboration
Our teams consist of people from different backgrounds, age groups, and life experiences. This diversity makes us stronger, more creative, and more innovative.

✔ Fair Pay Above Minimum Wage
All salaries exceed statutory requirements. We believe that performance deserves recognition – including financially.

✔ Zero Tolerance for Discrimination
We reject all forms of discrimination – regardless of gender, religion, beliefs, or sexual orientation. Respect is non-negotiable.

✔ Safe and Modern Workplaces
Whether in logistics or office roles, we continuously invest in modern work environments that enable efficient operations and support employee well-being.

✔ Accident Prevention Measures
Employee safety is our top priority. Through targeted prevention measures and optimised workflows, we minimise risks and ensure a secure working environment.

Fair Standards Across Our Entire Supply Chain

As a globally operating company, we take responsibility far beyond our own sites. We are committed to ensuring that social and ethical standards are consistently met throughout every stage of our supply chain.

Our Commitment is Clear:

Responsible Supplier Selection

We collaborate with carefully chosen manufacturers and innovative partners who consistently meet our quality and sustainability standards.

Social Standards in the Supply Chain

We ensure strict compliance with local minimum wages and fair working conditions throughout our entire supply chain.

Transparency and Traceable Origins

Clear supply structures and transparent processes allow full traceability of our products’ origins.
