Annual Report 2024

Strategy and business model

Our heritage is firmly rooted in the design, development and manufacturing of high-precision delivery devices for the healthcare, and consumer and industrial markets. Our core competences are in fluid handling and mixing, plastics injection molding and applicator technologies, alongside automation expertise. Based on these fundamental assets, we have expanded from Industry & Dental applications into Drug Delivery, Surgery and Beauty business units. In each of our units, we have identified profitable and resilient niche markets with strong customer relationships and long-term growth potential.

Our long-term success depends on sustainable and profitable growth and a flourishing planet. As a company with a long tradition in the world of precision instruments, we want to continue to have a positive influence on our industry by reconciling economic, social and environmental aspects and promoting sustainable practices, illustrated by the following model with drivers and actions:

medmix recognizes the responsibility we have for the environment and society within the company, but also in the various communities in which we operate. Our goal is to further strengthen our sustainability efforts to minimize adverse impacts and maximize benefits, future-proof our growth and invest in building capabilities within our organization to adapt to the changing regulatory landscape and promote competitiveness and innovation. Our strategy, which includes climate-related issues, risks and opportunities, long-standing commitments and ambitious targets, is reflected in a comprehensive and pragmatic framework:

People

As an aspiring employer of choice, we enable an inclusive workforce, develop impactful development opportunities, and support employee engagement through an open and empowering culture. We work to support our communities and our employees, whose safety is a key priority. We promote a safe and healthy work environment and are committed to eliminating hazards, reducing occupational health and safety risks for everyone present at our sites.

Planet

At medmix, we recognize the importance of taking a science-based approach to the reduction of our greenhouse gases to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement in limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Climate-related issues, risks and opportunities are managed in the same way as other risks and opportunities at medmix, being included in the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework and becoming an input into our financial planning process.

We have a responsibility to act in tackling climate change, reducing pollution and waste, and being a good water steward to ensure a sustainable future for our planet.

Our business strategy is resilient to climate-related risks across different scenarios and time horizons. In the short term, we are focusing on compliance with new regulations, enhancing operational efficiency and beginning the transition to lower-emission technologies. In the medium term, we will continue to invest in sustainable technologies, expand into new markets and enhance our product portfolio with eco-conscious solutions. Our long-term goals aim for significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, transitioning to renewable energy sources and improving resource efficiency.

Growing our business results in increased absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To address this, our sustainability strategy and transition plan allows for the organic growth of the company, which assumes the outlook stated in the Letter to the shareholders. This planning ensures we reach our key commitments.
