LivaNova has always focused on delivering strong financial results and is committed to doing so in a way that respects the communities and environments in which the Company operates. LivaNova has established a Sustainability strategy delivery program with global coordination to respond to regulatory requirements and commercial needs.

In 2023 and with the executive team, LivaNova’s cross-functional Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Task Force developed the below Sustainability commitment and associated actions. The Sustainability commitment encompasses the Company’s Sustainability Focus Areas –People, Products, and Planet.

Through the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the LivaNova Board of Directors, the Board oversees the Company’s Sustainability efforts. Within the organization, the Company’s sustainability efforts are managed by the Head of Sustainability.
