Stericycle is in the business of protecting what matters to all of us. It is a fulfilling mission and a challenge that drives us every day. We never lose sight that communities around the world and over a million customers are counting on us daily.
We operate in highly regulated and complex arenas that have tremendous environmental and social impact. Every day, Stericycle teams are safely removing potentially infectious and hazardous materials on a massive scale, providing enormous benefit to the public. Our services divert millions of pounds of plastics from landfills and keep our oceans and waterways cleaner. We safely dispose of vast quantities of expired and unused drugs. We keep sensitive information safe, guarding against identity theft, and creating tremendous environmental benefit as we shred and recycle tons of paper worldwide.
This is an extraordinary time of change and opportunity in Stericycle’s history. We are engaged in a multiyear Business Transformation to streamline and modernise our operations through enterprise technology, real-time metrics and a cohesive global operating approach. Additionally, we have unified our global team around four strategic areas of focus; Safety, Service, Savings and Growth, actionable and timeliness principles to sustain Stericycle’s success and better the world we serve.
Protecting what matters is more than a mantra at Stericycle. It is a guiding principle. Because each of our service lines has inherent environmental and human impact, our social commitments and business goals are inextricably linked.
Stericycle strives to lead by example. We hold ourselves to high standards in all that we do, from our role as an industry leader and innovator, to the culture we create to how we run our operations day-to-day. In keeping with our entrepreneurial spirit, we are always exploring ways we can improve our business impact while minimising our environmental footprint and protecting precious, finite resources.
We believe building relationships and engaging the diverse perspectives of our employees, customers, shareholders, community and government partners, strengthens our vision, builds trust and creates better outcomes.
We are on a journey to re-engineer Environmental, Health and Safety across the enterprise with common policies and procedures, repeatable practices and a single EHS operational management system. Our EHS program is as important to us as the quality of our services, customer experience and business results.
We have always cared about the environment and our impact on the world around us. It’s simply how Stericycle operates and integral to our standards of excellence. While we recognise there is always room to improve, we never lose sight that we are stewards of the future for generations to come.
