Sustainable Procurement

Ipsen is committed to science-based targets (SBTi) aligned with the 1.5 deg C pathway of the Paris agreement. By the end of 2027, we aim for 77% of spend with our top suppliers to be with partners who have carbon targets aligned to ours. Further, we aim to reduce Scope 3.1 emissions through shared data, collaborative roadmaps and decarbonization initiatives.

Implement circular packaging targets for key existing products and integrate circular principles into the design of future packaging and devices.

Our aim by 2030 is for 70% of Ipsen’s global fleet to consist of battery electric vehicles under our corporate “Fleet for Future” program.

Where travel is required, we continue to implement and monitor an environmentally conscious travel policy which encourages more sustainable travel modes and frequencies, for our colleagues, using carefully selected partners who share our ambition.

We aim to procure and use 100% renewable electricity on applicable Ipsen sites, with the support of certified renewable energy certificates, where relevant.

We will equip our employees with skills to systematically integrate sustainable considerations into purchasing decisions through training programs and promote regular internal & external communications. 

Aim for 100% of our top suppliers to have a Code of Conduct which aligns with Ipsen’s standards, or that suppliers adhere to Ipsen’s Business Partner Code of Conduct. 

Sustainability principles embedded into our procurement strategies, supplier selection criteria and supplier performance metrics to ensure collaboration with, and priority to, sustainability-conscious partners.
