Owens & Minor Publishes Annual Impact Report

Owens & Minor's fifth annual update on our company-wide commitment to operating responsibly is now available.

Previously titled the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report, the Impact Report reflects a more holistic perspective that goes beyond evaluating ESG in terms of financial risk. Impact also considers how Owens & Minor actively engages in our communities, from teammate volunteerism to the efforts of The Owens & Minor Foundation.

This year's report provides an update on our progress against commitments in four key areas:

• Promoting Environmental Stewardship

• Caring for Our Customers & Communities

• Operating Responsibly

• Empowering Our Teammates

Since publishing the inaugural report in 2021, Owens & Minor has made progress in reducing its environmental impact, building a culture of belonging, and enhancing governance practices that ensure we continue to lead with integrity. In 2024, we achieved several new milestones, including:

• Setting a new baseline for emission reduction goals by completing comprehensive greenhouse gas accounting, inclusive of Scope 1, 2, and seven Scope 3 categories
• Expanding electric vehicle (EV) deployment for the Patient Direct fleet following a successful pilot in 2023
• Completing our first water risk assessment to better understand our water usage footprint and identify facilities in water-stressed areas
• Launching the Teammate Disaster Relief Fund, in the wake of Hurricane Helene and Milton's destruction, to assist U.S. teammates facing long-term recovery efforts
• Supporting waterway stewardship via The Owens & Minor Foundation's funding of organizations such as the James River Association, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Save the Sound, the Los Angeles Waterkeepers, and FRIENDS of Great Salt Lake
• Expanding teammate development with a new leadership development program for frontline leaders, Elevate Excellence.

Owens & Minor remains committed to driving positive outcomes for our stakeholders and promoting a culture of integrity, excellence, and accountability. To read the full Impact Report, click here.
