Monaghan Medical Sustainability Initiatives
Our Sustainability Framework
At Monaghan Medical, our commitment to improving respiratory health goes hand-in-hand with our responsibility to operate sustainably. We believe that long-term success means not only delivering effective, high-quality medical devices, but also doing so in a way that supports environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and ethical governance.
Our approach to sustainability is built on three key pillars which, taken together, shape our sustainability initiatives and reinforce our mission to advance respiratory health responsibly and with purpose.
Environmental Sustainability
Environmental sustainability continually guides our efforts to reduce our ecological footprint. From optimizing our manufacturing processes and reducing waste to exploring sustainable materials and packaging solutions, we are dedicated to minimizing our impact on the planet while continuing to deliver life-enhancing respiratory products.
Social Sustainability
We’re dedicated to the people who make up our workforce and the communities we serve. We mandate fair labor practices, safe working environments, and an inclusive workplace culture. We support education, outreach, and equitable access to respiratory care through community partnerships and public health initiatives.
Organizational Health
We uphold high standards of transparency, compliance, and accountability in everything we do — from product development and regulatory compliance to responsible sourcing and data privacy. By investing in long-term innovation and ethical business practices, we aim to build a sustainable future for both our company and the communities we serve.
ISO 14001:2015 Certification
At Monaghan Medical Corporation, our dedication to improving lives goes beyond respiratory health. We are equally committed to fostering environmental responsibility in all our operations. With sustainability at the forefront of our manufacturing practices, we have taken a significant step by implementing an Environmental Management System (EMS) aligned with the ISO 14001:2015 standards. ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized framework that helps organizations manage their environmental responsibilities in a systematic way, ensuring that environmental impact is minimized while improving overall efficiency. By adhering to these rigorous standards, we are able to identify, control, and reduce our environmental footprint, promote sustainable practices, and drive continuous improvement in areas like waste management, energy usage, and resource conservation. This certification reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability and operational excellence.
We have also made significant strides in our waste management efforts. Over the past few years, we have continuously increased our waste diversion rate, ensuring more waste is recycled and less ends up in landfills.
Our efforts in 2024 reflect a major achievement, as we reached a 85% diversion rate, up from 55% in 2021. This steady improvement highlights our ongoing commitment to reducing environmental impact and fostering a more sustainable future.
Employee Health and Wellness
At Monaghan Medical Corporation, we are dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of our employees by offering a range of programs and resources aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle. We partner with local health and wellness providers to bring valuable resources directly to our team, ensuring they have access to the tools and support they need to thrive.
Our wellness initiatives include services such as biometric screenings, on-site flu shots, nutrition and exercise guidance, and stress-relief activities like chair massages. We also offer opportunities for employees to engage with local organizations that provide valuable information on topics like smoking cessation, mental health support, and healthy living. By creating a workplace culture that emphasizes health and well-being, we strive to ensure that our employees have the support they need to lead balanced, fulfilling lives.
CSA Produce Program
At Monaghan Medical Corporation, we believe that sustainability extends beyond our environmental practices and into our daily lives. As part of our ongoing commitment to the well-being of our employees and the community, we are proud to partner with a local Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. This partnership allows us to provide fresh, organic produce to our employees, free of charge, throughout the growing season. The program offers a wide variety of seasonal vegetables, giving our team the opportunity to enjoy fresh, nutrient-rich food that supports both personal health and local agriculture.
In addition to the weekly vegetable shares, employees also have the unique opportunity to visit the farm’s flower garden and pick their own flowers, free of charge. Whether it’s a bouquet of colorful blooms or a basket of fresh vegetables, this initiative encourages employees to take home more than just produce—it’s about connecting with the local community and supporting sustainable farming practices. At Monaghan, we’re proud to contribute to a healthier, more vibrant workplace and community through this rewarding partnership.
Monaghan Medical Community Action Team
At Monaghan Medical, we not only help people breathe easier, but we are also deeply committed to making a meaningful impact in our community. Through dedicated volunteer efforts, partnerships, and local initiatives, this last year we have supported over 35 community organizations and facilitated the donation of more than $45,000 back into the local community — a few of which are listed below. Whether it’s supporting local charities, sponsoring children’s events, or providing vital resources to families, our team is driven by a shared commitment to uplift those in need and create lasting solutions to the challenges our neighbors face. When we say it matters, we mean it!
