While growth, profitability and creating shareholder value are certainly major strategic drivers in ensuring the sustainability of Mediclinic’s business, this cannot be achieved unless the Group is also committed to: offer efficient, effective, appropriate and evidence-based clinical services to its patients; follow ethical business practices; value its employees by following fair labour practices and offering competitive remuneration, training and development opportunities; respect the communities within which the Group operates and contribute to the well-being of society; and carefully manage its impact on the environment by focusing on its carbon footprint, use of energy and water resources and waste management.
