Promoting Sustainable Dentistry by Partnering With FDI World Dental Federation

As environmental stewards, we are conscious of our operations’ impacts on the environment. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to play a key role as cofounder of a landmark project to improve sustainability in dentistry, launched in May 2021.

We've joined GSK Consumer Healthcare, Procter & Gamble, Colgate, and TePe as founding partners with FDI World Dental Federation (FDI) to promote sustainability in dentistry amongst practitioners, patients, and throughout the supply chain.

By uniting key peers from the wider life sciences sector, FDI, and our customers, this partnership will create a new wave of sustainable action within dentistry and set an ambitious benchmark. On a practical level, it will equip dentists and their teams with the tools and resources to improve sustainability in their dental practices while informing the public of the role they can play in ensuring a sustainable future for dentistry, both through improved oral health and by making informed decisions.

Aims of Partnership With FDI

To inspire and equip all stakeholders to address the issue of sustainability in oral healthcare, identify potential solutions and strategies, and build motivation and commitment to reducing environmental impact

To engage with stakeholders from all levels of the supply chain to commit to managing plastic use in a practical and sustainable manner, and pledge to follow the FDI Sustainability Code of Practice

To motivate and equip dentists and their teams with the ability to improve sustainability in their dental practices

To inform patients of their personal role in contributing to sustainability through improved oral health and making sustainable choices

To engage with governments and policy makers (via national dental associations) to deliver a model of sustainable dentistry

“We are incredibly proud to be a founding member of the new cross-sector Sustainability in Dentistry partnership with the FDI. Our mission as a Company is to improve oral health worldwide and sustainability is core to our strategy. We are committed to helping create a more sustainable world for future generations and look forward to the progress we will be able to achieve through this landmark initiative.”

Don Casey, CEO

“I am delighted to witness FDI’s Sustainability in Dentistry project evolve into this high-caliber, multipartner initiative to achieve our sustainability goals for the dental profession. The project’s humble beginnings as a way to encourage oral health professionals and dental practices to ‘think green’ is now moving into a phase of collaboration, action, and real results.”
