Humanity has never witnessed such a magnitude of profound and rapid changes as in today’s globalized world. Our world has become complex, polarized, uncertain and fragile. We observe extraordinary changes in the environment, in our societal structures, in business and in our area of expertise: Healthcare.

This new scenario requires a significant shift in our mindset, in the way we do business, in the way we live. We have to adapt to the new circumstances with a more holistic approach, and we have to start now in order to hand over to the next generations a sustainable world thanks to our actions.

Today’s Cerbios is the result of the passion and the commitment dedicated to our company by all stakeholders in the past forty years.

It is our intention to be flexible and resilient, to adapt to the rapidly evolving needs of our partners and of all our stakeholders, and to improve our economic, social and environmental performance.

Providing an excellent service and good value is, today, no longer enough: our stakeholders increasingly want to know how we are performing beyond our economic results; how we use natural resources, what our environmental impact is and how we create a positive influence on society.  

This first sustainability report is the starting point of our path towards continuously improving our sustainable approach in all our activities, every day.

The report shows snapshots of how we are performing today.

We highlight the areas and aspects of importance and where we intend to focus enhancements in our resources and activities

This report is dedicated to all the individuals who have contributed to our success since 1976.

We hope you will enjoy reading it, and we look forward to receiving your feedback.

Mapping our stakeholders has been an important step in understanding who they are, and what they are looking for in relationship to our business.

We engage with them either in the course of ongoing business relationships, during one-off events or occasions, or when there is a direct request.

They play an important role in our company and its continuous success, and we take into account their opinions, suggestions and criticism.

In doing this we have:

• identified 10 major stakeholder groups with whom we interact regularly during our activities
• recognized the topics which influence their decisions and opinions
• listed the methods through which we engage with them in the course of our activities

In terms of age groups and years of employment, it is encouraging to see that:

• Our staff is very loyal, 20% have been with us for more than 20 years, 35% for more than 16 years and 58% for more than 12 years
• we have managed to keep fluctuations at a very low level through the years
• our efforts to create a desirable place to work have been rewarded by the loyalty of our people
