Initiatives

Our team in Netherlands has started a knowledge hub about insulin sensors and glucose monitoring products for people with diabetes. A team of specialist nurses provides support via a web site called Diabetesexperts.nl. There is a lot of information and practical things to keep in mind if you get diagnosed with diabetes. The good thing is that many innovations and helpful technologies have improved everyday lives for diabetics in the last decades. The introductions of new insulin pumps, glucose sensors and innovative applications follow each other in a rapid pace.

Naturally, there may be many questions and that is precisely why our team has developed diabetesexperts.nl. It shall serve as a knowledge website to bring together important information in the field of insulin pumps, glucose sensors and new technology in one central place. It shall be objective, independent and up-to-date. Also, it shall give voice to people’s different experiences to share insights and help. In this way, we help people with diabetes with their way of life and healthcare professionals with their way of caring.

A strong demand for consumables and single-use products in the healthcare sector is putting pressure on our planet in terms of production, transportation, and waste. By developing a new range of products that contributes to reducing environmental impact, we hope to inspire and lead the change towards more sustainable healthcare. Products in the range fulfill at least one of the following criteria:

• <20–30% less CO2 in a product compared to current, baseline 2021 due to lighter material or less use of raw material
• More than 50% bio-based material, with a switch from fossil to bio-based or other reusable source
• Minimum 70% of the material comes from renewable sources. This is also valid for the packaging required to "use the product" – that is, first-level packaging.

This initiative is an important part Asker Healthcare Group’s ambition to reduce the carbon footprint attributable to our products by 20%. And since much of the production of healthcare consumables takes place in countries that are classified as "high risk" regarding labour and human rights, we have ESG management personnel at key locations worldwide to safe guard good labour and environmental conditions.
