Sustainability

Our approach

Guided by our core values: Responsibility, Innovation, Courage, Respect and Trust, we continuously strive to make a positive impact on the world around us. By integrating sustainability into our core business practices, we create a harmonious synergy between the health of our patients and the health of our planet.

 

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy focuses on three key pillars: 

 

  • Facilitating the access to treatment to the largest number of patients
  • Paying full attention to the Health, Safety and Quality of working life of our collaborators
  • Contributing to the reduction of the environmental footprint on a daily basis

Turning our values into actions

Unither Pharmaceuticals is working on 8 sustainable development goals (SDGs). Below are some examples of actions:

 

Environment

This is currently of a particular focus at Unither, as we are aware that our environmental actions are key for many of our stakeholders: customers, patients, partner and of course, us.

Climate action: scope 1 and 2 of carbon emissions have been calculated for Unither sites worldwide. We are evaluating the full inventory scope to define our reduction target for next years.

Many actions have been defined to reach the target. For example, the recycling of Low-density-Polyethylene in the Blow-Fill-Seal process, learn more about it in our latest study.

 

Social

Employee shareholding is being implemented within the Group to more closely involve our employees in the Group’s success, and to reinforce our value-sharing model.

 

Our commitment towards the patients

We are developing Euroject®, an innovative affordable injection device (also for Low Income Countries). We are building the manufacturing capacity for injection devices in case of new pandemics.

 

Certifications

Our French sites obtained the Ecovadis certification which evaluates companies’ environmental, social, and ethical performance. Our sites have Bronze certification and are working towards Silver for 2024.

Values & Culture survey

Keeping an eye on employee feedback regarding company objectives, management, and culture ensures that Unither remains an organization with a vision and culture that encourages employee success.
