Sustainability
We aim to be the leading CDMO setting the standard for sustainable operations.
We are dedicated to taking responsibility by integrating environmentally conscious strategies and upholding the highest ethical standards throughout our entire value chain. While our initial focus was on climate action, our sustainability strategy is evolving to embrace the social and governance elements of the ESG principles. We have a long way to go before reaching our goals, but we take steps every day.
Through Partners for the Planet, we are dedicated to contributing to the mitigation of one of society’s most pressing challenges and making a meaningful, positive impact on the world through our five key focus areas.
