Heska’s commitment to corporate responsibility starts with the Company’s Board of Directors and executive leadership to promote ESG priorities throughout the organization and to align activities and resources with measurable practices and accountability. Our ESG strategy is spearheaded by our ESG working group, comprised of cross-function leaders from Legal, Human Resources, Finance, Operations, Supply Chain and Procurement, Research and Development, Product Quality and Safety, Data Privacy and Security, while the Board’s Governance Committee provides oversight. Members of the ESG working group periodically engage with external stakeholders such as shareholders and industry experts regarding best practices and initiatives. In addition, ESG-related risks and opportunities are identified and assessed as part of the Board’s regular discussions and meetings, at least annually, including matters related to human capital management; diversity, equity and inclusion; sustainability within supply chain; and environmental management practices.

The disclosure included in Heska’s 2021 ESG Factsheet is aligned with industry-leading frameworks, including the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) guideline for the Medical Equipment & Supplies industry and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), and it serves as a baseline from which the Company seeks to advance its impact in meaningful ways.
