Corporate Social Responsibility
We actively identify and manage environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations that may be material to the long-term sustainability of our business. ESG issues that we focus on across the Company include workplace health and safety, energy efficiency, waste management, climate risk, human capital management, diversity and inclusion, supply chain management, business ethics and compliance, and data privacy and protection.

We take ESG-related risks and opportunities into account in our strategic decision-making, both by the Board and management. ESG matters are managed and monitored by senior management throughout the year. The Board exercises oversight over ESG matters at the full Board level and through our relevant committees.
To highlight the responsible ESG actions we took to meet the needs of our stakeholders and the high standards we set for ourselves, we are pleased to share our latest Corporate Social Responsibility Report. We made an incredible impact in 2022 but with continuous improvement as our core value, we are confident that our positive influence will be even greater in the future.

Business Partners and Supply Chain
Enovis is committed to conducting business with the highest ethical standards. Consistent with that commitment, we have adopted a Code of Conduct for Business Partners that sets out the expectations and standards that apply to any agents, distributors, dealers, contractors, intermediaries, joint venture partners, suppliers and other business partners doing business with Enovis. Among other things, the Code of Conduct for Business Partners addresses compliance with law, labor and human rights (including child labor and forced labor) and health, safety and the environment.
Our supplier quality assurance program includes an intensive qualification process that includes personnel visiting supplier sites. After supplier selection and qualification, ongoing relationships are managed via scorecards. We target suppliers who are focused on lean initiatives. Supplier selection is based on the ability to reduce cost, lead times, freight, and eliminate non-value added processes that may be in the supply chain. Suppliers are expected to bring new ideas and opportunities to grow partnerships with DJO. Suppliers also are expected to obey laws that provide a safe and healthy work place for their employees and protect our environment. Our Supplier Code of Conduct addresses, among other things, compliance with law, labor and human rights (including child labor and forced labor) and the environment.
