Driving progress towards a sustainable future

The world’s limited resources are becoming increasingly depleted and the environmental footprint of humankind is already more than the planet can sustain. That’s why we’re committed to driving progress towards environmental responsibility and sustainable development.

Our company’s efforts to promote sustainable development include defining concrete goals that are relevant for our operations and introducing management systems in line with leading international standards for environment, health and safety. We collect and analyse data from our production sites and use it to continuously improve efficiency and occupational safety, while also reducing energy consumption and minimising waste.

Shaping a Greener Future in API Production

A network of interconnected heat pumps at our API (active pharmaceutical ingredients) manufacturing site in Mitlödi, Switzerland, is accelerating the shift towards more sustainable, future-ready API production. In January 2026, our innovative system enabled us to generate all production heat using almost 100% green electricity for the first time, embedding environmental responsibility into our reliable, high-quality operations.

Our Corporate Responsibility Approach

As a global leader in pain management, conducting business responsibly is a core part of our company’s strategy and culture. We provide transparent responsibility and sustainability reporting on our progress, and an independent agency regularly rates our performance according to environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. We join forces for sustainability and are committed to supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
