Generation Ipsen: For Positive Change
At Ipsen, our commitment to social 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. A culture where we go beyond commitments, and where each of us understands the individual role we must play in shaping positive change. We define specific goals and proactively set out how we will deliver on these – inspiring and empowering action that will ensure we create a better, healthier world for future generations.
Generation Ipsen focuses on driving positive action across four pillars:
- Environment
- Patients
- People
- Governance
We are committed to transparency at every step, and continually challenge ourselves to go beyond what is expected – doing what is right, not what is easy. Across all our initiatives, care is taken to align with the United Nations’ internationally recognized Sustainable Development Goals, and we remain firmly supportive of these major priorities.
Our employees
At Ipsen, we are committed to playing our part to minimise harm and preserve our natural world – shaping a more sustainable future.
Patients and society
Our focus on the fields of oncology, rare disease and neuroscience enables us to develop an ever-greater understanding of patients’ needs and experiences.
The environment
As well as patients, we care deeply for our employees, and our communities.
Governance
Our responsibility is based on a strong ethical culture. At all levels of the organisation and in all our operations we are committed to acting with integrity and transparency.
Below you can find out how each of our individual sites within the UK & Ireland are responding to these social practice pillars.
Across the UK & Ireland, we have Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) leads at each site. These leads organise and promote initiatives to local colleagues, translating the CSR strategy into tangible outcomes to involve employees. The below highlights some of the great hub initiatives in the last year, in addition to the other ongoing work that contributes to our social responsibility in the UK & Ireland.
