ESG statement: sustainable enterprise in healthcare technology
At PCD CareHub, Environmental, Social and Governance principles are not an afterthought, but the foundation of every investment decision. We are building a sustainable ecosystem that connects healthcare technology and societal impact.
Our ESG vision
PCD CareHub integrates Environmental, Social and Governance principles into every investment decision. From the selection of healthcare technology companies to the day-to-day operations of the CareHub ecosystem -- ESG is woven into everything we do.
We believe that sustainable enterprise and financial returns go hand in hand. By building healthcare technology that improves the quality of care, reduces workload and manages data responsibly, we create value for all stakeholders: patients, care workers, healthcare organisations and investors.
Environmental, Social & Governance
Our ESG approach rests on three pillars that together ensure sustainable, responsible and impactful investments in healthcare technology.
Environment
- Energy-efficient cloud infrastructure for all CareHub solutions
- Paperless workflows that drastically reduce paper consumption in healthcare facilities
- Carbon-conscious operations and selection of sustainable hosting partners
Social
- Improving quality of care through smart digital support
- Reducing workload for care workers by lowering administrative burdens
- Accessible digital care for all citizens, regardless of digital literacy
- Diversity and inclusion as core values within our portfolio
Governance
- Privacy-by-design and security-by-default as non-negotiable principles
- Compliance with NEN 7510, ISO 27001 and GDPR
- Transparent reporting to all stakeholders
ESG in practice
Our ESG principles are not abstract guidelines -- they are visible in every layer of the CareHub ecosystem. From the architecture of our software to the way we collaborate with healthcare organisations and healthtech companies.
Data privacy and security as core values
Every solution within the CareHub ecosystem is assessed for privacy-by-design and security-by-default. Personal data of patients and clients is protected with the highest level of care, in compliance with NEN 7510, ISO 27001 and the GDPR.
Impact measurement and reporting
We systematically measure the societal impact of our investments: reduction of administrative burdens, improvement of client satisfaction, and contribution to appropriate care. We report these results transparently to our stakeholders.
Responsible growth
Our buy-and-build strategy is focused on long-term value creation, not short-term gains. We invest in healthcare technology with proven impact that fits within a sustainable ecosystem.
