Protecting our planet
Our focus is on reducing our impact on the environment. The health of the planet is inextricably linked to the health of its inhabitants.
Climate protection and adaptation
The rise in global temperatures as a result of greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the atmosphere, and pollution is a cause for concern. To work with all partners and encourage them to reduce emissions as much as possible, ambitious targets have been set.
Minimal use of natural resources
As a company, we are committed to conserving resources, including water and materials used in the manufacture, packaging, and delivery of our products. Our parent company and partner sites evaluate opportunities to conserve water, and formal water conservation programmes are implemented in areas predicted to experience water stress.
Sewages and waste materials
Our operations aim to prevent and address waste at various stages. Our parent company and partner sites are required to develop and implement initiatives to minimise both hazardous and non-hazardous waste, and to implement reuse and recycling programmes.
Medicines in the nature
We request our partners to assess and manage the impact of pharmaceutical active ingredients, including antimicrobials, on the environment, while maintaining a balanced approach. Our parent company and partner sites must comply with emissions and effluent regulations, and we require them to take a risk based approach to understanding and controlling the discharge of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in wastewater from their facilities.
