Corporate Responsibility
Just as our technology is grounded in clinical evidence, our corporate responsibility commitments are backed by meaningful action. We believe that responsible business practices drive innovation, lasting value, and a better future for healthcare.
Sustainability as a mindset
Sustainability at Paxman extends beyond carbon reduction. It shapes how we design products, work with suppliers, manufacture our technologies, and support healthcare systems.
By embedding environmental considerations into our products, operations, and decision-making, we aim to deliver innovations that improve patient outcomes, create long-term value for patients, healthcare providers, employees and the wider community, and reduce our environmental impact.
Our Net Zero commitment is an important milestone in this journey, helping ensure that the positive impact we create through innovation is matched by meaningful action to reduce our environmental footprint.
At Paxman, we recognise the growing urgency of climate change and its impact on global health, communities, and the economy.
We’ve committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions all the way to net-zero across our operations and supply chain.
Giving back to nature
Each year, Paxman employees in the UK plant trees equivalent to our annual paper consumption. Usage is continuously measured and employees dedicate their time to replenishing that resource in nature.
Going electric
We’re embracing a sustainable future by transitioning company vehicles to electric and hybrid. To encourage employees to do the same, we’ve made electric car charging available on site.
People and patients are at the heart of everything we do. They give us purpose and drive a wide range of initiatives for the greater good.
Patient safety and access
First and foremost, we ensure that our devices meet or exceed global medical safety standards and remain transparent about their efficacy and safety. We work hard to make these technologies accessible to as many patients as possible.
Employee wellbeing
We provide a safe, healthy, and supportive workplace with fair wages and access to an employee assistance programme. We listen to our people and actively seek out annual feedback from every single person.
Investment in our teams
We take a proactive approach to investing in our people and their careers, allowing them to deliver their very best for our patients and customers.
We’ve created development pathways for every employee and offer opportunities for training, career development, and new qualifications.
Diversity and inclusion
We promote equal opportunities in employment and create a workplace culture in which diversity and inclusion are valued – where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
Gender equality
The Paxman story started with Sue. Gender equality is a core element of the Paxman ethos, and we recognise and celebrate the achievements of our women within the business. We are proud to be led by a female-majority senior leadership team.
Community engagement
We support a range of charitable events, engage with health, sports, and wellness programmes, and offer our staff the opportunity to volunteer for local worthwhile causes.
Our approach to business is one of integrity and accountability. We’re committed to ethical business conduct, risk management, and regulatory compliance.
