Our commitments
"This corporate social responsibility approach will enable us to more optimally fulfil our mission: 'Improve health in everyday life through constant innovation'. And it’s now clear that reducing our environmental impact also helps safeguard public health, just as getting our employees more engaged has a direct impact on the patients they care for day after day. Our social commitment to preventive healthcare for all is already clear.
And I feel sure that this value will help make our group stand out for excellence."

Taking care of yourself means taking care of everyone
You… the staff and carers who put your heart into supporting our patients at every stage of their health journey.
You... the practitioners and researchers who give the best of yourselves to our patients and who put all your talent and expertise into advancing healthcare,
You... the patients who trust us and who deserve the best care, the best follow-up... for the best of your health and your balance,
You... the local players who benefit from all the services provided by our facilities, the job opportunities they create in your towns... and the preventive healthcare initiatives carried out by our Foundation,
You... the generations of today and tomorrow for whom we must do all we can to reduce the ecological footprint of our activities... Because taking care of the planet also means preserving your health and that of your children.
And it is the sum of "You" that allows us to say that...
Taking care of you means taking care of everyone
Our approach
Ramsay Santé’s corporate social responsibility (“Our Commitments”) is based on commitments to our main stakeholders that we uphold and implement at all of the Group’s facilities and in all our operations:
- Care for people: patients – practitioners – employees
- Care for the planet
- Care for the communities that we serve
Our strategy consists of improving our impact on each of these stakeholders via dedicated action. We assess the impact of this action by monitoring one or more indicators year after year.
Governance of this strategy is handled by the CSR Department, which is represented in the Executive Committee of the Ramsay Santé group. The CSR Department manages and coordinates a network of correspondents in each country and operational department of the group.

Sustainability goals
