Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

0

Based on the provided information, there is insufficient evidence to determine RxSight's alignment with the Zero Waste & Sustainable Products value. The materiality analysis suggests a neutral relationship with the value, with a medium level of materiality related to manufacturing and packaging waste. While the provided article from AAO.org discusses sustainable practices in ophthalmology, it does not provide specific information about RxSight's initiatives or performance in waste reduction, product recyclability, or sustainable packaging.
