We make healthcare run better. This mission holds true not only for our healthcare partners but for the world we live in. From the way we do business to the pressing issues we tackle, we're committed to making a lasting positive social and environmental impact, here in the US and around the world.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is in the fabric of who we are, and we use our agility and scale to make change happen—creating solutions that strengthen communities, preserve the environment and improve people's access to care.
The work highlighted in our 2020 Social Responsibility Report describes how we're making our communities—and our planet—healthier, stronger and more sustainable.

Making a lasting impact
We work together with our healthcare partners, employees and communities to identify the places—and the causes—where we can make the biggest impact.
A message from our leaders
“While many elements of our lives were put on hold due to the pandemic, positively contributing to social determinants of health in low-resource communities locally and around the world remained as important as ever. Throughout this 2020 Social Responsibility Report, you’ll see examples of ways Medline worked to positively impact those communities and help make a lasting impact for the future.”

Supporting UN sustainable development goals
Our vision for building a better world is closely tied to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015. The SDGs are 17 global initiatives for achieving a sustainable future for all by the year 2030. The work we do to create positive social change aligns with many of these goals, including those to protect the health and well-being of all people, promote sustainable economic growth and ensure access to affordable, clean energy.
