At Ipsen, we put our actions into motion through our structured approach to sustainability
GENERATION IPSEN – FOR POSITIVE CHANGE
At Ipsen, our commitment to sustainability 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 sustainability 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
Caring for the planet
Climate change is the foremost challenge of our generation. Our environmental pillar has a strong focus on greenhouse gas / carbon reduction but also aims to minimize Ipsen’s impacts in other areas: leading on climate, preserving natural resources, and ecosystems, as well as enhancing product sustainability.
