DESS Dental is firmly committed to the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations

Herein, DESS Dental publishes its ESG policy, which formalises the commitments of the Group companies to environmental, social and governance issues, or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance). In recent years, ESG criteria have become very important for companies. These include environmental, social and governance factors that encourage the creation of companies committed to the environment, society and good corporate governance practices.

These commitments guide how the company thinks, conducts its business, operates and makes decisions. In doing so, they will shape and drive the relationships with our stakeholders that are internally captured in our ESG action plan.

This policy applies to all our activities and in all the territories where we operate. It complements our adherence to the legal requirements in place in each country. The commitments we share below take a holistic view of sustainability and are designed to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
