Sustainability at the core of our operations
At MWI Animal Health, operational efficiency and environmental responsibility are two sides of the same coin. We are committed to sustainable operations that not only enhance our efficiency but also reduce our environmental impact. Through a series of proactive measures, we are integrating sustainability into every aspect of our operations. By eliminating single-use plastics and polystyrene foam, adopting electric vehicles, and optimizing shipment processes, we aim to minimize waste, reduce carbon emissions, and promote a healthier planet.
Eliminating single-use plastics and polystyrene foam
We recognize the significant environmental harm caused by single-use plastics and polystyrene foam. To address this, we are phasing out these materials from our operations, opting for more sustainable alternatives. This initiative is a critical step in reducing landfill waste and minimizing our environmental footprint.
Electric vehicles
Transitioning to electric vehicles is a cornerstone of our sustainable operations strategy. By incorporating electric vehicles into our fleet, we aim to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and our dependency on fossil fuels. This move not only advances our environmental goals but also sets an industry standard for sustainable practices.
Reducing shipments
Optimizing our shipment processes is another vital element of our sustainability efforts. By consolidating orders and improving logistics, we can reduce the frequency and volume of shipments. This approach helps us lower our carbon footprint while enhancing operational efficiency, benefiting both the environment and our clients.

Customer programs
Teaming up for environmental stewardship
Sustainability is a shared responsibility, and at MWI Animal Health, we are committed to empowering our clients with the tools and resources needed to adopt eco-friendly practices. Our sustainable customer programs promote reusable totes, order consolidation, and innovative delivery solutions, helping our clients reduce their environmental footprint. These programs underscore our commitment to fostering a more sustainable and responsible industry.
Order consolidation
Specifically tailored for veterinary practices, our order consolidation initiative streamlines supply deliveries. By consolidating multiple orders into single shipments, we reduce the frequency of deliveries and the associated environmental impact. This program helps veterinary practices operate more sustainably while maintaining the high level of service their clients expect.
Sustainable tote delivery program
Our sustainable tote delivery program provides clients with reusable totes for their deliveries. These totes are designed to be returned, sanitized, and reused, significantly reducing the need for single-use packaging. This program highlights our commitment to sustainable delivery solutions and helps our clients adopt more environmentally responsible practices in their daily operations.
