Enabling Our Members to Reach Their Goals

Through our portfolio of resource partners, Core by Biocom California aims to foster a future rooted in responsible sourcing by minimizing the environmental impact of industry activities and maximizing benefits to society and the economy.

A significant portion of global healthcare emissions is driven by supply chain activities including procurement, production and transportation. By adopting responsible business and procurement practices across the lifecycle of products and services, Biocom California members can reduce their environmental footprint, strengthen supply chain resilience, support workforce wellbeing, better serve their communities and create long-term value for their stakeholders.
