Building a Green Community at Stryker
Stryker is a global leader in medical technologies, and has been committed to improving healthcare services. With a strong presence in MedSurg, Neurotechnology, Orthopaedics, and Spine, Stryker is not taking a step to make an impact not just in healthcare, but in the environmental sphere as well.
As a part of their growing commitment to sustainability, the company has begun establishing an internal sustainability committee, and Bare Necessities was more than happy to help lay the foundation through an engaging sustainability themed workshop.
The goal of the workshop was to take the discussion beyond the buzzwords and help Stryker have a meaningful discussion about sustainability - both within their organisation and beyond. Our workshop on the Building Blocks of Sustainability, goes beyond catchy buzzwords like ESG, CSR initiatives or greenwashing. Instead our workshops, get into the crux of sustainability by introducing employees of Stryker to the critical principles of sustainable living and business practices, equipping them with the knowledge and tools required to drive change.
Building Blocks of Sustainability, Workshop:
Sustainability is a simple, yet often misunderstood concept and the aim of our session was to break it down for everyone in the room. We covered a broad range of topics from the foundational pillars of sustainability to more complex issues such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), ESG frameworks and the impact of greenwashing.
Through the session, all the participants had the opportunity to explore what sustainability truly means and the role of renewable energy in building a sustainable role, and how communications play a crucial role in shaping public perception of environmental issues. We also highlighted the importance of equality in advancing sustainability, ensuring that no one is left behind as we move towards a more sustainable world.
Through a blend of carefully researched statistics, collective discussions and interactive exercises, the workshop provided the participants with a practical and holistic understanding of how sustainability concepts can be applied in both their professional and personal lives.
Keen Participation from the Stryker Team:
The workshop saw active participation from the Stryker Team, who were super eager to learn and contribute. Many employees, who were unfamiliar with some of the concepts discussed, expressed excitement at being introduced to such critical topics.
Some employees, who were particularly well informed about specific areas volunteered to lead initiatives within Stryker, furthering sustainability efforts in their departments. The openness of the group to share their stories and practical applications created an environment conducive to learning, where everyone, regardless of their experience and knowledge, could contribute and grow together.
Bare Love from the Participants:
We were delighted to receive generous appreciation from Stryker’s team, testament to the success of the session and impact it had on them:
“The insights shared during the session were inspiring & reinforced the importance of collective actions in driving positive environmental change. I look forward to seeing such workshop create an impact & to future opportunities for more collaboration at SGTC”, shared Amit Sharma
“Thank you for a wonderful session… extremely relatable and made us rethink our role in this long sustainability Journey”, expressed Mani Gupta
This workshop marks an important step in Stryker’s journey towards building a sustainable future. Through collaborative and community driven efforts, Stryker will soon see its own sustainability committee to integrate green practices into their work culture. Bare Necessities is thrilled to have played a part in laying the groundwork.
