Our environmental approach

Climate change has a direct impact on the communities that we support: heatwaves, food insecurity, infectious diseases, and more frequent natural disasters. These developments directly impact our medical and humanitarian mission. 

In response, the entire MSF movement is mobilizing to reduce its environmental impact. At MSF Supply, we are fully part of this commitment. As a supply center and a key logistics actor within the movement, we have an important role to play in reducing our emissions and adapting our practices. 

Our approach

MSF drafted and signed its Environmental Pact. Through this pact, the movement acknowledges its responsibilities and establishes a common framework to reduce the environmental impact of its activities.
