Sustainability report
Quality of Life, our Annual Group Sustainability Report, covers operations across our organization. It aims to present our sustainability and ESG performance, commitments and goals in six different areas to our stakeholders.
Focused on improving the lives of our patients Our commitment to the quality of life of our patients has remained constant throughout the years. It is at the forefront of our work. Helsinn is focused on developing the highest quality products to help ease the burden of patients. |
People are the foundation of our business We strive to provide a stimulating and enjoyable work environment where each of us can thrive. |
Contributing to the progress of the regions where we are based As a good corporate citizen, we want to expand our impact beyond our business and support the advancement of our local communities. We participate in a variety of activities ranging from sports to education, cultural events and charitable initiatives. |
Improving our environmental performance We continuosly improve upon our environmental performance, driven by the goal of becoming Carbon Neutral throughout Helsinn’s entire operations. Our natural gas consumption is stable; approximately 80% of the electricity we use is obtained from renewable sources; and heating oil is not used in any of our buildings. Overall, we have substantially improved our CO2 environmental impact and have put in place stringent measures to constantly reduce the environmental footprint of our operations. |
Committed to ethical, social, and environmental responsibility We have established and maintain an effective Compliance Program, developed in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, Helsinn policies and industry codes, in order to promote a culture of quality and regulatory compliance. |
Creating value for our main stakeholders We aim to generate profits so as to redistribute much of the value we create back to our employees, suppliers, governments, shareholders and charitable contributions. |
