Baxter works to address social and environmental issues across the product life cycle, from bioethics and sustainable design during research and development, to efficient use of energy and materials during manufacturing and transport, to responsible product promotion, and finally, repair, refurbishment and recycling at the end of the product’s life.
Quality and safety are imperatives across the product life cycle. Baxter has programs to ensure high standards in both of these areas.
