When Dr. Homer Stryker, an orthopaedic surgeon from Kalamazoo, Michigan, U.S.A, found that certain medical products were not meeting his patients’ needs, he invented new ones. As interest in these products grew, Dr. Stryker started a company in 1941 to produce them.

Our growth is based on a diverse array of innovative products and services in Orthopaedics, Medical and Surgical, and Neurotechnology and Spine that help improve patient and hospital outcomes – which we achieve through the dedication of our more than 43,000 employees globally.

Climate change is real. As a healthcare company, we cannot ignore the intricate connection between the health of our planet and human health. We are committed to examining our carbon emissions and setting reduction goals. Currently, we are evaluating the risks and opportunities we face.
Concurrently, we have been making strides to improve our carbon footprint. We have recently executed a renewable energy power purchase agreement to supply all our electricity needs in Ireland in addition to continued use of renewable energy for our sites in Germany. Across our manufacturing locations, approximately 15% of our electricity use is generated by renewable sources.
Our efforts also have included identifying and implementing energy reduction opportunities, including Building Management System enhancements, LED lighting, equipment upgrades, and conducting energy audits to identify areas of energy conservation opportunities. An improved performance score from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a B rating, reflects the success of our efforts to date.
