Better Health for All

Nemetschek SE's core business involves providing software solutions for the architecture, engineering, construction, and media and entertainment industries. The company's products, such as BIM, CAD, and structural analysis software, do not have direct health implications, either positive or negative. While their software is used in the healthcare sector for designing and managing hospital projects, this is an indirect application rather than a direct health product or service.

The company has no significant involvement in activities with well-established negative health outcomes, such as alcoholic beverages or tobacco products. There is no evidence to suggest that Nemetschek's operations or products directly impact user safety, require health data management, or involve health-related R&D, pricing, or accessibility considerations for vulnerable populations.
