Be part of the movement for change.
We believe that business has a critical role to play in taking action on environmental, social and health issues facing our world. We’re part of a movement for change, and we’re here to make an impact.
Environmental Responsibility
We are committed to identifying and advocating for more sustainable options to reduce our effect on the environment.
Our Technology and the Environment
As a global company, we recognize our most salient environmental risk to be the irresponsible use of our products in violation of country specific regulatory law. We are committed to conducting our business in a manner that will foster a culture of continual improvement and excellence within all areas of environmental, health, and safety.
The technology of 3D printing plays a larger role. For the first time, objects are being optimized for the functions they will serve, instead of the manufacturing process.
For example, an airplane component can now weigh less yet perform better – shrinking fuel costs and environmental impact.
And because 3D printing only uses the materials it needs, there is substantially less production waste than traditional manufacturing.
Social Responsibility
We are allies for social causes, and we give back to the communities where we live and work. We oppose all forms of human trafficking and forced labor.
Responsible Practices & Governance
We hold ourselves accountable to ethical and responsible practices and policies.
Global Code of Conduct
Our Code of Conduct sets the ethical and legal standards of behavior and business practices that are required of all our employees around the world. We require all board members and employees to complete training and certify compliance with our code.
Supplier Code of Conduct
Suppliers are expected to understand and act consistent with 3D Systems’ approach to integrity, responsible sourcing, and supply chain management. We expect our suppliers will cascade similar expectations through their own supply chains.
Open Line
At 3D Systems, we are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, positive workplace built on trust. To empower our employees, customers, and vendors to raise ethics, compliance and potential misconduct concerns, we provide several ways to report an issue – one of which is Open Line – an anonymous, confidential service that is operated by an independent company and available 24 hours a day.
Health & Safety
The health and safety of our employees is our number one priority. It’s why we continue to invest in safety and wellness policies and programs, and it’s why we continue to exceed industry-wide safety targets.
*OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) defines a recordable incident (i.e. recordable injury and illness) as 1) any work-related fatality, 2) any work-related injury or illness that results in loss of consciousness, days away from work, restricted work, or transfer to another job, 3) any work-related injury or illness requiring medical treatment beyond first aid, or 4) any work-related diagnosed case of cancer, chronic irreversible diseases, fractured or cracked bones or teeth, and punctured eardrums. Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) = # of injuries & illnesses x 200,000/# of hours worked by all employees. 3D Systems executed 4,979,268 work hours resulting in a OSHA Recordable TRIR of 0.60.
