AtriCure (NASDAQ:ATRC) this month released its first environmental, social and governance (ESG) report that highlights the company’s corporate responsibility and sustainability initiatives.
Companies produce corporate responsibility for corporate stakeholders who are interested in ESG-related information.
AtriCure’s ESG report includes data metrics such as the gender diversity of its management and workforce and the racial diversity of its board of directors. It also outlines some of the environmental sustainability efforts it has made or plans to establish, including monitoring energy and water usage and implementing processes to consolidate those utilities while maintaining efficiency.
The Mason, Ohio-based heart device company touted several ESG accomplishments from 2021, including:
- Achieving gender parity on the board of directors to better align with the diversity of patients;
- Launching diversity and inclusion education within the company;
- And increasing volunteer time off for employees during peak months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Our ESG report is the latest step toward our goal of reducing the global impact of AFib and healing the lives of those affected,” President and CEO Michael Carrel said in a news release. “In accordance with our core values to heal the lives of patients, empower our people and collaborate with our partners, we are committed to operating sustainably and improving the wellbeing of the communities around us. This report elaborates on many achievements as well as additional initiatives we are undertaking to make a positive and lasting impact on society.”
