A series of interactive learning courses about sustainability in dentistry
Sustainability is humanity’s most urgent challenge. As individuals, communities and businesses, we must all act now to protect the future of our planet, create a fairer, more inclusive society and ensure the highest standards of ethics and responsibility.
The dental industry is no exception. In a global study commissioned by us, nearly three-quarters of you told us becoming more sustainable is important for dentistry yet 7 in 10 of you also believe our industry is lagging behind on actually doing so.
Led by experienced dentistry and sustainability experts with a passion for bringing about change, this course series aims to help close that gap. For a quick reference download a ESG glossary here.
During two inspiring, interactive courses, you will learn what sustainability means for the dental industry and why it is so important. We will introduce you to key terms, goals and initiatives, and you will discover clear, practical steps for how to work more sustainably.
At Dentsply Sirona, we are proud to support clinicians on this critical journey. By acting together now, we can go beyond the ordinary and build a dental industry that is good for the planet, good for people and good for business.
Let’s get started! Together, let's go BEYOND!
