Sustainability
Committed to Net Zero emissions by 2045, reviewing manufacturing, packaging, waste, energy and fuel with every supplier.
Responsibility & Sustainability
Our high-quality, sustainably-manufactured products are designed to reduce infections and improve patient care at every opportunity. We're proud to act responsibly as an employer and as people.
We're unashamed to stand up for what we believe in, and that means fair and equal pay for all those involved in the production of our products, and for those that we work with.
Find out more about our commitment to responsibility and sustainability below.
Four commitments
How we act as a supplier, an employer and a neighbour.
Corporate social responsibility
Sharing what we know about skin conditions and skin cancer prevention, and backing initiatives that make a real difference.
Modern slavery & labour standards
Over 60 years of relationships with manufacturers who uphold labour standards across every link in the chain.
Diversity & inclusion
Different perspectives and backgrounds are how we succeed. We champion differences and celebrate them.
Sustainability
At Schuco we encourage environmental best practices in every area of our business and are always looking for new ways to reduce our impact on the natural world.
As a business, we’re committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2045. We are working closely with all our manufacturers to ensure that the products we supply will adhere to this.
Our current and ongoing commitments to being more sustainable involve reviewing all our manufacturing and packaging, waste disposal and energy and fuel consumptions.
Corporate Social Responsibility
We take seriously the responsibilities we have to our communities and are dedicated to real initiatives that have a positive impact on the world.
We want to share our knowledge of skin conditions and skin cancer prevention to help build a better world. At Schuco, we understand that we have a responsibility not just to our customers and patients but to our employees and to the world at large.
We are mindful of the way in which our operations (from manufacturing to processing and distribution) affect the natural world and are constantly aiming to minimise the impact of these through new and innovative methods.
We take seriously our position as experts in the field of dermatology and thus seek to share our knowledge at every available opportunity with the ultimate aim of building a better world for everyone.
Modern Slavery & Labour Standards
Our products are manufactured in partnership with select companies worldwide. We take active steps to ensure every link in our chain behaves responsibility and upholds labour standards, as well as not engaging in and discouraging the use of Modern Slavery.
We have spent over 60 years developing relationships with a number of trusted suppliers and manufacturers across the world.
We work with everyone within our supply chain to ensure that high standards are maintained in all of our partners factories. We remain committed to ensuring there are excellent working conditions for all, right from manufacturing to our own family.

Diversity & Inclusion
Diversity and inclusion are the cornerstone of our values and shape how we behave. We believe it takes people with different perspectives and backgrounds for us all to succeed. We champion differences and celebrate them.
We will always be bold in character, resolve and nature, and for us that means standing up for what we believe is right. We treat each other as family, and as one. We won't stop until our Schuco family represents the patient population that we help treat.
We are unashamed. We stand up for what we believe in. We value everyone for who they are and what they bring to the table, regardless of gender, identity, beliefs, looks or race. Healthcare is the great leveller in life, we want to never be ashamed of being our authentic selves.
We are working hard to make healthcare a more inclusive place for all. We are proud supporters of mygwork and are working with our companies to help improve our diversity and inclusion.
