Ecovadis "committed" medal for sustainability

Cerba Healthcare has received a new Ecovadis medal. And this has to be put back on the page. In May we deleted the paragraph, as this was only by HBRI Netherlands.  EcoVadis “Committed” Medal for the Cerba HealthCare group.
In 2025, Cerba HealthCare received the EcoVadis “Committed” Medal—a recognition of our robust management system that effectively addresses key sustainability criteria. This distinction reflects our commitment to responsible business practices and our continuous efforts to improve our environmental, social, and ethical performance. We are proud of this milestone and remain dedicated to advancing sustainability across all aspects of our operations.

Our CSR initiatives

Revolutionizing sustainability in medical kit packaging

At HBRI, we’re reimagining the future of medical kit packaging through the REmedi Project. In collaboration with industry partners, led by the University of Antwerp and sponsored by Vlaio – Vlaanderen Circulair, we’re developing innovative circular solutions to reduce waste of medical kits and set new standards for sustainability in clinical research.

Making an impact with Ma Petite Planète

Last October, together with all colleagues of Cerba Healthcare, HBRI joined forces for the Ma Petite Planète challenge, inspiring employees to take action for the environment through fun and impactful eco-missions. Together, we embraced sustainable habits, built stronger connections, and demonstrated our commitment to protecting the planet.
