Consequently, KPIs related to financial services, such as pricing fairness, exploitative fee exposure, and debt burden ratio, are not applicable to its core business. The company's digital technology services focus on dental workflows, not customer finance data. While Straumann engages in community initiatives and educational programs, these are centered on dental care access and best practices, not financial literacy or financial inclusion.
