The certification process involved a comprehensive review of Carasent’s operations, identifying key areas of environmental risk and opportunity. “The most important part of this process was working risk-based,” says Stefan Jernberg, Chief Compliance Officer at Carasent. “We focused on where we see the highest environmental risks within the group and addressed those areas first.”

As part of this initiative, Carasent reviewed its supply chain, examined its handling of electronic devices such as computers and phones, and assessed its energy suppliers to ensure they aligned with the company’s environmental goals. These efforts reflect a holistic approach to sustainability, aimed at reducing environmental risks across the organization.

For Carasent, the ISO14001 certification is not just a badge of honor – it’s a reflection of the company’s core values. “No one can do everything for the environment, but everyone can do something,” Jernberg emphasizes. “We decided to go for certification because we want to contribute positively to a better environment. Our environmental efforts are also important to many of our employees and to our investors.”

In today’s market, sustainability is increasingly a priority for stakeholders. Environmental certification helps Carasent not only meet regulatory requirements but also aligns with the values of clients, investors, and employees who expect businesses to take action on climate change.

Carasent’s ISO14001 certification has already influenced its daily operations. A simple yet impactful example is the company’s choice to travel by train instead of flight for business travel whenever feasible.

These practices, while practical and cost-effective, are part of Carasent’s broader vision of integrating environmental considerations into its operational model. By making sustainable decisions in its everyday activities, Carasent is setting a standard for responsible corporate behavior in the healthcare technology sector.

The environmental certification represents only the beginning of Carasent’s journey toward greater sustainability. “We are just starting to realize the effects of our environmental certification,” Jernberg explains. “Already, it has impacted our choice of suppliers, and we expect to see more positive changes in the future.”

As Carasent continues to expand its sustainability efforts, the company plans to further embed environmentally friendly practices into its business operations. This includes encouraging suppliers to adopt greener practices and reducing the environmental footprint of its healthcare technology products and services.

Carasent’s environmental certification also sends a strong message to its clients and business partners. By setting high environmental standards internally, Carasent aims to inspire others in the supply chain to follow suit. “We want to positively influence our clients and encourage them to demand environmental accountability from their own suppliers, just as we do,” says Stefan Jernberg.

Carasent’s environmental certification is part of a broader initiative to position the company as a leader in quality, information security, and sustainability. This holistic approach ensures that the company not only delivers top-tier healthcare solutions but does so in a way that respects the environment and promotes long-term global health.
