可持续性发展不仅与建筑物和材料相关，还与关系有关。无论与我们的员工和客户、我们的合作伙伴和供应商，还是环境和社会，长期关系至关重要。
Values: We are a family business with long‑term perspective.
Environment: We cultivate the conscious use of natural resources to help protect the environment.
People: We are committed to society and take care of our people.
Innovation: We innovate for a better life.
As a family enterprise, we think and act with a clear focus on long-term goals and reinvest for the future. It also goes without saying that we comply with the applicable laws and other legal requirements in every country we do business in, an condemn any form of corrupt, anti-competitive conduct, or otherwise illegal behavior. Everywhere we operate, we respect human rights.
We joined the UN Global Compact in July 2023 to be part of the global movement of sustainable businesses and stakeholders, who are working to create the world we would like to have. To live up to our corporate social responsibility, we are committed to increasingly incorporating the 10 principles of the Global Compact into our strategies, directives, and procedures..
作为一家全球性经营企业，我们致力于联合国 2030 年可持续发展议程，并通过我们的可持续发展计划支持可持续发展目标 (SDG)。我们积极支持 SDG 的选择并使我们的专注点与其保持一致，即尽全力通过我们的工作为可持续发展目标的成功实现做出贡献。
针对我们的一个特定目标是 SDG3，其旨在确保健康生活，促进所有人和所有年龄段的健康——直接指向我们的业务核心。
We want to make a real contribution to climate protection and have actively decided to reduce all three scopes of greenhouse gas emissions, so not only those we cause directly, but also indirectly.
Director of Compliance,
Part of the team since 2021
Economic success is important for every company, but so is the future. Hamilton Medical belongs to the Hamilton group of companies, which started measuring its total carbon footprint in 2021 and has set targets for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. These have been submitted to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a worldwide movement of more than 4,000 companies taking action against climate change. We are already listed on their website and our targets are awaiting publication by SBTi.
Our calculation and reporting process is based on The Greenhouse Gas Protocol. According to this standard, which is the most widely used worldwide for greenhouse gas accounting, GHG emissions are divided into direct (scope 1) and indirect (scope 2 and 3) emissions.
Compared to a 2020 baseline, we are committed to reducing scope 1 and scope 2 emissions by 42%, and the CO2 intensity of our scope 3 emissions by 52%. All of that by 2030.
在我们的瑞士场所，我们利用光伏系统满足我们的部分能量需求。2021 年，我们正在利用光伏系统满足我们的部分能量需求。2021 年，我们能够生产 320,000 kWh 清洁电力供我们自己使用。此外，我们利用地下水加热或冷却我们的营业场所，并尽可能避免使用空调。
在我们位于内华达州里诺市的办公室，那里消耗的许多能量都是由广泛的公司所有的楼顶太阳能板系统提供的。
过去，我们的流量传感器管路是卷绕在塑料筒上交付的。这些塑料筒是一次性的，无法重复使用。仅在一年里，就累积超过 10,000 个塑料筒作为废弃物进行处置。和我们的德国供应商一起，我们找到了一种解决方案，无需塑料筒帮助即可使管路卷绕。
结果是不仅运输量和潜在 CO2 排放量大幅减少，每年塑料废弃物也减少 12 吨。
为保护我们的产品防止在运输过程中损坏，我们以前使用聚苯乙烯颗粒作为包装材料。聚苯乙烯很难或几乎无法回收，而且不能进行生物降解。因此我们需要尽可能快地从我们的生产过程中将其排除。
我们用 Storopack 的 Airplus® 空气枕代替聚苯乙烯颗粒，该空气枕可按照 DIN Certco EN 13432 进行回收。
结果是每年聚苯乙烯废弃物减少 10 m3。
We have a multitude of other ideas and plans for making our processes more sustainable. Here is just one example: We still investigate every technical issue in Switzerland. The result? CO2 emissions caused by returning the device by air freight. That is why we have started to set up local service units at our subsidiaries in Birmingham, Navi-Mumbai, and Reno.
We expect this change to reduce the number of return shipments to Switzerland by 34% in 2025, saving more than 114 tons of CO2 per year compared to the existing process.
因此我们支持世界各地不同国家的各种项目。
我们和一个非政府组织开展合作，该组织自己设定的目标是在印度 300 个农村地区每个都设置一个 10-bed ICU。
Hamilton Medical 哈美顿医疗公司是此项目的唯一呼吸机供应商，将在不盈利的基础上提供数百台呼吸机，为该项目提供支持。
作为世界第三大贫困国家，马拉维的卫生部门资金严重不足。甚至最简单的医疗或常规手术也很难获得。
因此我们决定支持 Lydia 和 Bernhard Widmann。2022 年 4 月，这两位医疗专业人士和他们的三个孩子一起搬到马拉维，用他们的知识和专业技术支持当地工作人员。
员工是公司最宝贵的资产，而健康是个人最宝贵的资产。我们十分重视员工的健康营养，而重点采购当地农产品及时令水果和蔬菜。长期以来，素食和纯素餐一直是我们菜单上的标准餐。当然，我们仍然迎合肉食爱好者，但肉食完全来自当地农民。
生态方面也起着重要作用：食物垃圾被转化为沼气，我们已经将塑料的使用减少到最低限度，例如通过放弃 PET 瓶改用自来水。热饮用纸杯也已成为历史。每个人都有公司为他们提供的杯子和瓶子。
Since the foundation of Hamilton Medical, we have been driving innovation. We first entered the market with one of the first microprocessor‑controlled ventilators. In the decades that followed, we revolutionized mechanical ventilation – not just once, but time and again. Today, for example, you can see real-time respiratory data in the palm of your hand – the Hamilton Connect App streams it from the ventilator to your mobile device. What’s next? Stay tuned!
Our developers, programmers, and product managers are highly inventive. We register multiple new patents every year. As innovative strength is part of our DNA, this number will keep on growing.
We certainly don’t need to be shy in terms of design either. As at our 40th anniversary in 2023, we had more than 125 registered designs and design applications.
The future of ventilation is becoming increasingly digital. We have a team of more than 20 experts from different fields focusing solely on digital solutions.
As a family business, we invest more than average in research and new technology. Another 20 experts with PhDs in physics, mathematics, or medicine works exclusively in this field, collaborating closely with internationally renowned ventilation experts. Ideas for innovative technologies such as IntelliSync+ have been conceived and realized by this interdisciplinary team.
为促进使用零排放汽车和插电式混合动力汽车，我们为员工和访客设置了多个充电站。
我们的管理层以身作则：50% 以上的 Hamilton Medical 哈美顿医疗公司管理人员驾驶纯电动车或插电式混合动力汽车。
