Higher Ambition Leadership

Cybersecurity

At Henry Schein, we encourage,
embrace, and appreciate diversity
in our workplace, and we use our
commonalities and differences to
enhance our effectiveness inside and
outside our company. Henry Schein
takes part in a variety of initiatives and
programs that address and support
the issue of diversity in our businesses.
Through our continued involvement in
these programs, we help our customers
better serve their patients and provide
health care to underserved communities.

Henry Schein is a founding member
of the Center for Higher Ambition
Leadership, a nonprofit 501(c)(3)
dedicated to developing and supporting
a growing global community of
leaders who have higher ambitions for
themselves and their institutions. Since
2014, 22 of our senior leaders have
participated in the Center's Higher
Ambition Leadership Institute to develop
their capabilities as higher ambition
leaders. In addition, Henry Schein invites
a larger group of directors and vice
presidents to attend internal one-day
sessions held twice annually to support
their development as higher ambition
leaders.

Henry Schein is entrusted to protect
the information that is critical to our
customers, their patients, and our
supplier partners, which combined
contribute to the efficient and effective
delivery of quality patient care. Henry
Schein recognizes this important
responsibility and is committed to
protecting the information that has been
shared with us. We have an established
set of policies and leverage a layered
security framework to enable the
implementation of our cybersecurity
strategy. While there is no way to
absolutely guarantee the security of
the information, we take commercially
reasonable precautions to keep the
information that we have been entrusted
with secure against unauthorized access
and use, and we continuously review our
security measures.
