Sustainability
What we do is who we are
The topic of sustainability is growing in importance for IVC Evidensia’s stakeholders, staff and clients. For structural reasons, the veterinary industry has never comprehensively addressed this topic – and at IVC Evidensia, progress on sustainability has largely relied on the discretionary efforts of passionate individuals at clinic level.
As part of IVC Evidensia’s vision of building the world’s best veterinary group, we are committed to build a more strategic approach to sustainability for the group – thereby, making a more positive impact on the world, better meeting the expectations of our teams and clients, and ultimately becoming the market leader for sustainability in the sector globally.
At IVC Evidensia, caring is what we do and who we are – by protecting the health and happiness of people and their pets, and the joy their relationships bring. We care every day for animals, clients, colleagues, and for a cleaner environment.
Believing in a sustainable approach to how we operate is the reason that sustainability has become a key part of the Group’s strategy. As well as growing the business and constantly improving clinical standards, this means caring about the difference we make to people and the environment.
It means becoming both the best veterinary group in the world, and the best veterinary group for the world.
We in IVC Evidensia care everyday – for animals, our clients, our colleagues, and for a cleaner environment.
We are creating a workplace where we focus on innovation, engagement and teamwork.
