Cosanum − Our next step towards a responsible future
Together, we strengthen all those Swiss healthcare organisations willing to assume responsibility for public health, people and resources.
Cosanum − The joy of making responsibility visible
Here at Cosanum we’ve reached a significant milestone in our history after much effort and dedication: B Corp certification − a recognition that goes way beyond traditional corporate success. B Corp certification is not a superficial sustainability label, but an internationally recognised, rigorously audited mark of quality that measures how a company performs in the areas of social and environmental responsibility, employment practices, customer relations and governance.
Our economic success is not, for us, an end in itself. We consciously use it to assume responsibility, make our impact transparent and help develop the healthcare system in a sustainable manner.
Clear values dictate how we do business and we aim to have a positive impact on society and the environment − every day, in every process and with every decision. This conviction is part of our violet DNA – we are, after all, a family business – and it spurs us on to act not only effectively, but also responsibly as an organisation.
What does “B Corp” actually mean?
B Corp® certification is a new way of looking at success:
- It’s not just about a company’s profits, but also its overall impact.
- It’s not just a company’s products that are evaluated, but also its impact and responsibility.
- It’s not just the words, but also verifiable actions that make all the difference.
Companies that achieve this status have shown that they systematically measure and continuously improve their impact. They commit to making decisions based not only on financial goals, but also on how they answer the question “How does this affect people, society and the environment?”.
So why has Cosanum decided to follow this path?
For us, B Corp is not just a certificate – it’s the logical next step in the evolution of our business practices. As modern society faces ever more complex challenges, we are convinced that companies must take responsibility and actively contribute to finding solutions.
As a healthcare logistics provider with a broad network of customers, partners, and employees, we bear a special responsibility:
- For all those working in the healthcare industry
- For the communities we work with
- For our use of ecological resources and sustainable value chains
Our aim is to turn our business success to account and create a long-term positive impact – for our partners, for society and for future generations.
Our decision to become part of the B Corp community means that we are making this ambition measurable, adopting high standards and constantly striving for improvement.
We’re not content just to meet expectations
For us, B Corp means:
- Transparency instead of invisibility
- Impact instead of promises
- Responsibility instead of pure profit logic
And to put these values into practice means learning, improving, sharing and moving forward together with others. Because real change happens where people and organisations don’t just talk the talk, but also walk the walk.
