We believe that minimising the environmental impact of our business and the risks to health and safety is a part of everyone's job. The 'Green Leaves' award scheme was introduced some years ago to make our staff aware of environmental issues and to introduce specific initiatives within the Global Business Units (GBUs), which would reduce our environmental impacts. The awards have continued to be made to those sites meeting the required standards, which do not already hold 14001 accreditation. The Chief Executives Certificate was introduced in 2005 to recognise sites working 1 million hours without a lost time accident. Certificates have now been awarded to the Orthopaedics site at Memphis and the Wound Management sites at Largo and Hull. The Orthopaedic sites at Memphis and Tuttlingen and the Wound Management site at Hull all maintained their ISO 14001 accreditation.

The Advanced Wound Management facility at Hull won the Manufacturer of the Year Award 2007 and was a finalist in the Environmental Section.

It also won the Business in the Community 'Health Work and Well Being Award'.
