Apodan A/S has developed and led medical devices to healthcare professionals and patients in the Danish and international health care sector for over 20 years.
We see the 17 Sustainable Development Goals as a good framework for our continued efforts toward a sustainable and socially responsible business operation.
Apodan A/S wants to contribute to a more sustainable future within the medical sector, through innovative healthcare products of high quality, through sustainable packaging and a responsible handling of our supply chain, which ensures a sustainable value chain.
The foundation lies in everyday behaviour. At Apodan A/S we take sustainability into consideration in everything we do, who we cooperate with and in the daily choices we make. Apodan A/S buys sustainable office supplies, poses environmental requirements for packaging, reduces waste, focuses on reduced CO2 emissions and takes a social responsibility.

Apodan A/S wants to contribute to a more sustainable future within the medico sector, through innovative healthcare products of high quality, through sustainable packaging and a responsible handling of the supply chain, which ensures a sustainable value chain.
We have formulated four goals to target our efforts towards a more sustainable future:
By demanding sustainable products and create awareness of our own spendings, Apodan wishes to become 100% sustainable in this area.
Apodan A/S cooperates with a printing house that prints in sustainable FSC®, ECF and European Ecolabel certified paper. Apodan A/S buys sustainable and certified paper and merchandise for conferences and exhibitions.
We want to use environmentally certified packaging and cartonnage at our local warehouse. At our local warehouse we pack in the smallest possible boxes and use environmentally friendly filling to fill the boxes. We print a minimum amount of packing slips, delivery notes, etc.
We will reduce our CO2 footprint by changing our car package to hybrid/electric cars. We are aware that the difference we make in our company can be multiplied if we look at the CO2 footprint of our manufacturers and partners, because of their size. That is why we actively assess our supply chain to make sure that our partners takes responsibility for their CO2 emissions.
Apodan A/S has through the last years optimized our production and purchase to secure minimum waste.
The few products that expire are used at exhibitions and as samples. Anyway, Apodan A/S would like to strengthen the focus on waste and waste sorting, to make sure that as few products as possible go to waste.
At Apodan A/S our focus on human beings and excellence, we are driven by making a difference. This mindset goes well in hand with sustainability and looking out for each other and our planet.
The foundation for change lies in everyday behavior. What we do every day; the decisions we take and the dialogues we have with our customers and partners.
Therefore, we have formulated three guidelines
We seek dialog and take responsibility, we think twice and make the sustainable choice and we think of the future generations
Social responsibility
Apodan A/S takes a social responsibility. In cooperation with local municipalities Apodan A/S also hires employees with special needs. Each year Apodan A/S supports charity, e.g. Danish Hospital Clowns. This year we also support the Danish Cancer Society and ‘Danmarks Indsamlingen’.
