Responsibility
across the supply chain
At AstMed, responsibility is integrated into the way medical single-use products move from sourcing to supply.
At AstMed, responsibility is integrated into the way medical single-use products move from sourcing to supply.
Public healthcare procurement across the Nordic region places rigorous requirements on product quality, documentation and regulatory compliance.
When tenders include requirements related to responsible business practices, these are considered alongside product, supplier and documentation requirements throughout the sourcing process.
AstMed is certified to ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management.
We use SimplerQMS as our electronic Quality Management System to manage quality processes, product documentation, change control and traceability across quality-critical workflows.
Through Sedex, AstMed works systematically with supplier assessment and due diligence across manufacturers and supply chain partners.
This enables us to identify risks related to labour standards, human rights, environmental protection and responsible business conduct, creating a stronger foundation for responsible sourcing and supplier accountability.
We work with manufacturing partners operating in accordance with ISO 13485 and applicable medical device regulations.
Product labelling, traceability, safety and performance information form part of the documentation basis used to support evaluation, compliance and use in healthcare environments.
Relevant documentation may include declarations of conformity, technical datasheets, test reports, material information, product specifications and supplier documentation depending on the product and procurement requirements.
As part of MedAi Group, AstMed follows the Group's Code of Conduct, which sets expectations for how we work with customers, suppliers, partners and employees.
For suppliers, this includes compliance with applicable laws, respect for internationally recognised human rights, the ILO Core Conventions, safe and lawful working conditions, and a clear rejection of forced labour, child labour and discrimination.
Where relevant, we may request documentation, declarations or confirmations, conduct audits directly or through third parties, and require corrective action. Continued non-compliance may lead to reconsideration or termination of the business relationship.
LinkNord
AstMed considers environmental and responsibility criteria where they form part of specific procurement requirements, alongside clinical requirements, quality, commercial considerations and reliable supply.
LinkNord, AstMed's AI-powered tender intelligence system, identifies these requirements in healthcare tenders and combines them with relevant product and supplier information.
This gives AstMed a stronger basis for evaluating sourcing opportunities against the full set of procurement requirements.
