Sustainability at the core of our operations

At MWI Animal Health, operational efficiency and environmental responsibility are two sides of the same coin. We are committed to sustainable operations that not only enhance our efficiency but also reduce our environmental impact. Through a series of proactive measures, we are integrating sustainability into every aspect of our operations. By eliminating single-use plastics and polystyrene foam, adopting electric vehicles, and optimizing shipment processes, we aim to minimize waste, reduce carbon emissions, and promote a healthier planet.

Eliminating single-use plastics and polystyrene foam

We recognize the significant environmental harm caused by single-use plastics and polystyrene foam. To address this, we are phasing out these materials from our operations, opting for more sustainable alternatives. This initiative is a critical step in reducing landfill waste and minimizing our environmental footprint.

Electric vehicles

Transitioning to electric vehicles is a cornerstone of our sustainable operations strategy. By incorporating electric vehicles into our fleet, we aim to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and our dependency on fossil fuels. This move not only advances our environmental goals but also sets an industry standard for sustainable practices.

Reducing shipments

Optimizing our shipment processes is another vital element of our sustainability efforts. By consolidating orders and improving logistics, we can reduce the frequency and volume of shipments. This approach helps us lower our carbon footprint while enhancing operational efficiency, benefiting both the environment and our clients.

Specifically tailored for veterinary practices, our order consolidation initiative streamlines supply deliveries. By consolidating multiple orders into single shipments, we reduce the frequency of deliveries and the associated environmental impact. This program helps veterinary practices operate more sustainably while maintaining the high level of service their clients expect.
