Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy, “Care at our Heart” is based on our care for animals, people and environment.

Our sustainable future, and therefore our ESG strategy, is built upon our need to care about:

Our Clients & Their Animals

Our customers are at the heart of what we do; they are the reason our Company exists.

Our Colleagues

Our colleagues make CVS, without them we could not run our Company.

Our Communities

Our communities give us a social license to operate, which is required to be a trusted veterinary service provider.

Our Suppliers

Our suppliers provide us with the resources to provide high quality care to our patients.

Our Environment

Our long-term success depends on the sustainable use of the planet’s resources.

Our Profession

Our industry bodies help set the course of the profession, train veterinary professionals of the future, and give us unique first-hand insight into environmental and social issues.

Our Investors

Our investors provide us with the capital we need to run our Company.

Our Achievements

Since 2022, our ESG programmes have been galvanising a Company-wide effort. Our ESG strategy, now has four broad programmes:

> Care for our Planet – retains a focus on energy and carbon as well as waste.

> Care for our People – retains a focus on people development, wellbeing, and EDI.

> Care for our Clients and their Animals – reflects how we become a more client-centric organisation, building long lasting relationships and trust with clients.

> Care for our Communities – is how we interact with our profession, with society and with the local communities in which we operate, and how we uphold public health through our One Health workstream.
