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.

Zero Impact From Operations

We will pursue zero environmental impacts in our operations globally* (Scope 1 & 2). To achieve this, we have set these goals:

  • 50% absolute reduction in (Scope 1 & 2) GHG emissions by 2030 aiming for net zero in 2033
  • Convert to renewable electricity by FY2030
  • 30% more efficient potable water usage by FY2030
  • Continually improve waste recycling rates year over year

Meeting these targets is challenging, and we are focused on continuous improvement, regular monitoring, and implementing initiatives to minimize our environmental impact.

Ethical Procurement & Supply Chain

  • Be transparent and reduce supplier CO2 footprint through ongoing data-driven dialogue
  • Reduce GHG emissions across our supply chain by 50% relative to growth by 2030 (target relative to accommodate growth)

Be Valued Partners For Customers

  • Contribute to a reduction in GHG emissions in society through advocacy and partnerships
  • Engage customers in data-driven dialogue to align targets
  • Reduce customer and product environmental footprints

Create Real Patient Impact

As a contract development manufacturing organization (CDMO), we are a vital ally to biopharmaceutical companies, enabling them to bring life-impacting treatments to market efficiently.

Our team of over 4,200 highly skilled workers produces life-impacting therapeutics every day providing treatments for millions of patients worldwide.

Provide a Safe & Attractive Work Environment

We are dedicated to building a culture of transparency and trust. We strive to live by behaviors prioritizing people and making a great workplace.


People First is the first of our three strategic priorities. We embrace 9 People Fundamentals that form the backbone of our culture. They help us nurture and expand trust, establishing a unified approach to how we show up, how we interact, and how we lead across the organization. By leading with purpose and meaning, we aim to drive our business forward by attracting and retaining talent.


Providing a safe and healthy working environment for our employees is central for us. We comply with applicable occupational health and safety regulations, designed to prevent workplace incidents.
