Ipsen’s Giving-Back Programs: Our Sustainability Commitments Go Beyond Environment

At Ipsen, we go beyond environmental responsibility to place societal impact at the heart of our actions. Through a range of Giving-Back Programs, the company aims to make a positive difference in the communities where we operate.

One standout initiative is Ipsen in Motion, a program that brings employees together around a shared cause through physical activity. Whether walking, running, or cycling, every effort is tracked via a dedicated app that collects points. Once the collective goal is reached, Ipsen unlocks a donation to a health-focused organization.

More than just a fitness challenge, Ipsen in Motion fosters team spirit, raises awareness, and promotes empathy and acts. Each year, local challenges take place across the globe to support local associations and spotlight issues that matter to our industry.

This momentum is made possible thanks to a strong network of Ipsen employee ambassadors, who meet monthly to exchange ideas, share local initiatives, and raise awareness on key sustainability topics. Their energy and commitment help bring Giving-Back Programs to life across sites and teams.

This commitment to giving back takes many forms throughout the year, thanks to the dedication of our employees, that makes it all possible. Their commitment brings this initiative to life and helps build a culture of care and impact.

A great example of this spirit was the Ipsen in Motion North America Challenge, which took place across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The initiative supported the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC), a U.S.-based organization that advocates for family caregivers and promotes recognition of their essential role in society. Each region organized its own activities:

• In the U.S., the challenge was launched with a roundtable on caregiving, featuring the National Alliance for Caregiving, which shared key data and insights about caregivers in the country. The initiative concluded with employees coming together for the Half Marathon on November 2nd.

• In Canada, on October 14th, teams gathered for a group walk around Mississauga. A book exchange was also organized, and to ensure the initiative continues, a small library was set up in the kitchen – a great reminder that caring for your health means nurturing both body and mind!

• In Mexico, some employees took part in a Día de los Muertos run on Thursday, October 30th, further strengthening the collective spirit across borders and creating a meaningful moment to come together around a cultural event with colleagues.

Thanks to the incredible energy and commitment of employees across North America and across Ipsen, who collectively reached 600,000 points, NAC received a donation of €15,000. A powerful testament to what we can achieve together.

Through Ipsen in Motion and the broader Giving Back Programs, Ipsen reaffirms that sustainability is also about empowering individuals and strengthening communities.
