Environmental Impact
Animal health is broadly defined as “the absence of disease or the normal functioning of an organism and normal behavior” (Ducrot et al., 2011). Animal health is one of the key factors of sustainability due to the importance of global animal protein lost to disease.
Animal health is also important to maintain a healthy environment for animals in order to produce healthy food products. Sustainability practices can help reduce the spread of diseases among animals and reduce antibiotics usage, which helps to combat antimicrobial resistance.
Social Impact
EVAH currently employs 28 people, a vast majority of which are women in science, and we aim at equal opportunity for people of various ethnic backgrounds.
We have very good working conditions for our employees, as well as a Quality Assurance program with high priority on health and security at our work premises.
We also implemented a Risk Assessment and Control System to evaluate our technologies throughout their respective development plan (Stage Gate Process), ensuring a responsible and ethical work environment.
Governance
Our governance program includes strong financial and internal controls, a majority of independent members on the Board of Directors, shareholder rights conventions as well as an alignment of interest between the executive team and EVAH’s shareholders.
