Our social involvement
“Together for a healthier world” – that is what our brand stands for. It goes without saying that our social invol- vement is also derived from this. We orient ourselves here towards a comprehensive concept of health, which alongside physical and mental health, also comprises social and environmental health. Growing environmental problems, stressful social situations, such as stress, lone- liness or a poor diet, and physical inactivity often trigger serious illnesses. There is an urgent need for action at all levels. Within its social involvement, the MEDICE Health Family concentrates on projects that specifically counteract these shortcomings and thus the development of subsequent health problems.
Health is a family matter
As a family business with a strong community spirit, we have been working with researchers, doctors and pharmacists to improve people’s health for three generations.
As a medium-sized pharmaceutical company in the fields of prescription-only and pharmacy-only medicinal products, people’s health is at the heart of our identity as a company. Rooted in the Märkischer Kreis region and connected to the world, over 1,000 employees and a large international network of doctors, pharmacists and scientists work on new, pioneering medicinal products, ideas and treatment concepts every day for a healthier world.
Dr. Sigurd Pütter (†) already understood years ago that it is not only the medicinal treat- ment of illnesses that paves the way for a healthier society. This understanding was the origin and driving force behind his outstanding commitment both in business and for the common good, earning him the German Federal Cross of Merit 1st Class.
Shortcomings in people’s social environment, growing environmental problems, stressful social situations, such as stress, loneliness or a poor diet, and physical inactivity often trigger serious illnesses.
The triad of our social involvement
Health is not viewed in isolation as a matter of providing medical treatment, but instead the focus lies on the intersecting and mutually influencing facets of health:
The areas in which we work in our social involvement arise quite naturally on the basis of these interlinking elements.
On the following pages, we would like to offer you an insight into our projects, goals and achievements while also giving you an impression of our open and, in every respect, healthy family culture.
