Medtronic's EHS Management System

Medtronic is committed to an environmental, health and safety management system that is focused on continually improving its impact on the environment and human health, preventing pollution, and ensuring compliance with relevant environmental legislation and regulations. Three major management requirements form the foundation of our system — these include: (1) planning, (2) operation, and (3) improvement and review.

The EHS Management System supports Medtronic’s EHS Policy by providing the structure to assess EHS impacts and risks in our organization by:

  • Providing a systematic method for managing EHS and improving performance
  • Providing the structure to address the impacts of the company’s products, services, and processes on the environment
  • Allocating resources, establishing responsibilities, and an ongoing evaluation of practices, procedures and processes
  • Focusing on continual improvement of the system
