Sustainability: ESG Commitments
Building a Healthier Tomorrow: Our Commitment to Society, Environment, and Governance
At IVI RMA, we believe in doing things right—not just what we do, but how we do it. This belief is at the heart of our commitment to Society, the Environment, and Governance, guiding every step we take towards a sustainable future.
The IVI RMA Way: A Sustainable, Diverse and Innovative Journey to Motherhood
Our journey begins the moment a patient reaches out for their first visit, sparking a series of meticulous internal and external processes designed to ensure the safest and most fulfilling path to motherhood. From the initial consultation to the joy of a healthy baby at home, every step at IVI RMA is taken with precision, care, and respect for both people and the planet.
Conscious Decisions for a Sustainable Future
We are driven by the vision that today’s choices shape tomorrow’s world. The IVI RMA Way is more than a practice—it’s a promise to advance maternity care through innovative and sustainable methods. Embracing ESG criteria is our way of ensuring that every child born today comes into a world that is healthier and more hopeful because of the actions we take now.
Environment - Planet in Balance
We are facing an urgent challenge: the climate crisis is impacting ecosystems around the world and demands immediate and decisive action to protect our planet for future generations. At IVI RMA, we have embraced a comprehensive strategy known as "Planet in Balance," through which we are committed to implementing effective measures to reduce our environmental impact.
Carbon Footprint Reduction
A crucial initial step in our strategy is measuring our carbon footprint using the GHG protocol standard. This enables us to identify the main sources of our emissions and tailor our efforts towards targeted decarbonization.
Hazardous Waste Management
Managing hazardous waste, particularly biomedical waste, is a priority. We are enhancing our waste management protocols to reduce hazardous outputs and ensure safe disposal practices.
Going Digital
Moving towards a paperless company is a significant step in minimizing our environmental footprint. Our digital transformation not only streamlines operations but also supports our sustainability goals.
Social
The 'Social' dimension of our ESG framework is fundamental. It underscores our commitment to cultivating strong relationships across all levels of our operations—from our employees and suppliers to our patients and the broader communities we serve. This focus on social equity and human capital is not just about doing good; it's about ensuring the longevity and success of our business while enhancing societal well-being.
Our three core areas:
Human Team with Heart
Our people are the foundation of IVI RMA. We pride ourselves on a committed, professional, and results-driven team that sets us apart and cements our leadership in the sector. Within this domain, we focus intensely on Employee Engagement and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, ensuring that sustainability lives at the core of our operations.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
We are deeply committed to the Sustainable Development Goals, ensuring our actions contribute to a better and more sustainable future for all. In 2015, the United Nations, along with partnerships, adopted and fostered the commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the 2030 Agenda in order to strengthen universal peace and justice. The 17 SDGs were developed as a result of public consultations and international negotiations, which incorporate global challenges that we face as a society in the social, economic and environmental fields.
At IVI RMA we also consider the SDGs as key agents of change and, with this corporate commitment, we identified our organization’s priority SDGs in the materiality analysis conducted in 2021. This process has served as the basis for the company’s sustainability actions. SGD 3, Good Health and Well-Being and SDG 5 Gender Equality are the top priorities for the group.
