ESG Working Groups

The establishment of ESG Working Groups, with goal-oriented initiatives facilitated by our ESG team, are helping MMC and our Members drive tangible results in health care. 

Excessive cardboard waste, boxes and styrofoam

Working Group Initiative:
Excessive & Unnecessary Packaging Waste

MMC’s ESG Member Council identified excessive and unnecessary packaging as the first sustainability opportunity for MMC and its participating Working Group Members to address. Tackling this challenge are 12 Members along with MMC’s ESG team and leadership from our Oakville Distribution Centre.

The approach – which began March 2025 – involves reviewing excessive packaging arriving at participating Member sites and MMC’s Oakville Distribution Centre over a two-month period and submitting observations to identify impactful opportunities. 

MMC’s ESG team will engage with the determined suppliers to drive change on behalf of Members, and track metrics and benefits associated with the program. 

We invite MMC Members not currently on our ESG Member Council to contact us about joining the council and using your voice to influence and participate in future working groups.
