As part of our ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability in support of our Purpose: A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS, Mars Veterinary Health is honored to sponsor the Human Animal Bond Research Institute’s (HABRI) new whitepaper “Healthy Planet, Healthy Pets: Toward Sustainability in the Veterinary Profession.”
A sustainable future for veterinary medicine takes expertise, passion, and collective action. This important collaborative work highlights the environmental sustainability efforts of leading U.S. veterinary organizations, including ours, showcasing best practices in waste reduction, pharmaceutical stewardship, energy and water conservation, and stakeholder engagement. It features our anesthetic gas capture initiative at Linnaeus and MWI Animal Health’s reusable tote program, which helps reduce waste and make the sustainable choice the easy choice for our teams at Banfield Pet Hospital and VCA Animal Hospitals.
As a profession, it’s critical to bring together diverse voices and expertise to share insights and inspire collective action to advance sustainability in veterinary medicine. By learning from one another and embracing shared sustainability goals, we can strengthen our profession, support the human-animal bond, and build a healthier future for our planet—and the pets and people depending on it.
