“Our Company has a long history of holding ourselves accountable to our five key constituencies, who together form our ‘Mosaic of Success’: our supplier partners, customers, Team Schein Members, shareholders, and society at large,” said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein. “Being recognised once again by Ethisphere reinforces Team Schein’s dedication to our stakeholders, our commitment to corporate citizenship, and our mission of ‘doing well by doing good.’ The trust that we have built amongst our constituencies has allowed us to catalyse change in the markets we serve and continue to help make a healthier world.”

Since its founding in 1932, Henry Schein’s approach to corporate citizenship has centred around a higher ambition that the social and environmental wellbeing of the community at large contributes to the success of the Company.
