At Ipsen, our commitment to responsibility is lived through an identity that unites our employees around a common vision. We call it Generation Ipsen – For Positive Change.
Through Generation Ipsen, we are fostering a culture of integrity and responsibility that touches every part of our business.

PATIENTS
Patients at the heart of everything we do
Our focus on the fields of oncology, rare disease and neuroscience enables us to develop an ever-greater understanding of patients’ needs and experiences. Our objective is to take patient-centricity to the next level by impacting medical care and patient outcomes in our therapeutic areas, notably by building a deep understanding of the patient journey. Patient insights are essential to challenge the status quo, while collaboration with healthcare systems can bring about advancements for patients around the world. Our action to better support Patients is focused on three areas: 1. Delivering a truly patient-centered experience, 2. Enabling access to good health, 3. Driving innovation. At Ipsen, we will continue to work with Patients for Patients, as they help guide our innovation and investment priorities.
