Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)

We are dedicated to minimizing the environmental footprint of MMS and promoting sustainable practices across all our operations around the world. We proactively seek to reduce energy consumption, manage waste responsibly, and support environmental initiatives internally and in the communities where we live and work.

By leveraging technology and data-driven solutions, we optimize our processes to ensure efficiency and sustainability, including:

• Green Facilities: We are committed to maintaining eco-friendly offices, implementing energy-saving methodologies and technologies, as well as reducing our reliance on non-renewable resources.
• Sustainable Operations: Through continuous monitoring and assessment, we identify areas where MMS colleagues can reduce waste, recycle materials, and minimize our impact on the environment.
• Collaborative Initiatives: We partner with like-minded organizations to advance environmental sustainability in clinical research, aiming for a higher standard.

Our success is intertwined with the well-being of the communities we serve and the experts that we employ. MMS fosters an inclusive and supportive workplace to drive positive change for individual stakeholders, partners, sponsors, and ultimately the public through the outcomes from our work.

This includes the following:

• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: MMS is committed to maintaining a diverse and inclusive environment where all employees feel valued and empowered to contribute their best. Our DEI initiatives are embedded in our recruitment, training, and continuous leadership development programs.
• Community Engagement: We actively engage with the local communities that we operate in, through individual and company-led volunteer efforts and other initiatives. Our team members are given time during the workday to volunteer and MMS provides resources to amplify their impact.
• Patient-Centric Outcomes: Our work with sponsors prioritizes patient safety, transparency, and accessibility. We strive to ensure that our support of drug development programs across nearly all therapeutic areas maintain high ethical and scientific standards, allowing the results to have a meaningful contribution to public health.

MMS is guided by a strong governance framework that ensures clarity and accountability at all levels of the organization globally. Our governance practices are designed to protect the interests of our stakeholders, including:

• Ethical Standards: We adhere to the highest ethical standards across all projects and business practices. This ensures that all activities are conducted with integrity and respect for the regulatory requirements set by global health authorities.
• Transparent Reporting: We are committed to providing clear and accurate reporting on our ESG initiatives, demonstrating our progress and areas for improvement. This allows us to build further trust with our stakeholders and reinforce our commitment to accountability.
• Continuous Improvement: Our governance framework is dynamic, changing as pharmaceutical industry best practices evolve and stakeholder expectations heighten. We regularly review and enhance our policies and procedures to ensure they align with our ESG goals.

MMS is proud to be at the forefront of integrating ESG principles into our #OneMMS ecosystem. We understand that our work has a far-reaching impact. This motivates every decision that we make, and we are dedicated to making a positive difference in the world.
