Making a real impact, every day
The culture at Ipsen is defined by passionate, dedicated people who go above and beyond to make a real impact, every day. For patients and society.
Fostering a diverse, successful and healthy workforce
At Ipsen, we want our people to thrive. Our aim is to ensure that we create a passionate, healthy and diverse team that supports each other, as well as our partners and the communities we serve. We believe all employees should be treated fairly, and we work diligently to optimize the health, safety and well-being of our teams.
Our approach in this area is based on three core principles:
- Caring for our teams and communities – an employer of choice, promoting wellbeing, health and safety, and access to benefits, and engagement with our communities.
- Nurturing and rewarding all talent – through programs of upskilling, collaboration and positive engagement, and recognition.
- Embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion – promoting an inclusive culture, valuing our people’s uniqueness and driving fairness through equitable processes.
How we support our people and our communities
Ipsen has been recognized as an employer of choice in 28 countries in 2024. Here are just some examples of how we work to ensure our teams and our communities thrive.
Ipsen community days

This equates to more than 2,250 people taking part in over 100 activities to support the work of more than local 92 associations.Community Day is first and foremost a day of volunteering, where each employee can show their commitment to helping those in need, reinforcing Ipsen’s ambition and impact on communities.
Ipsen in Motion

In 2023, more than 1,000 people took part in 4 challenges raising over €40,000 for 5 NGOs (Patients, Environment). Since its creation in 2019, the Ipsen in Motion initiative has supported more than 27 local NGOs accross 25 geographies.
Donations to support communities
Motivated by our strategic commitment to society as a whole, we seek out opportunities to make an impact. In response to the Ukraine situation, Ipsen convened a crisis committee with two key objectives: ensuring the safety of our employees and maintaining access to treatments for patients.
We have also responded to requests for humanitarian aid by donating medicines as well as a humanitarian contribution of €1.5 million in 2023 divided between the Tulipe association and the International Red Cross in France.
As Ipsen continues to closely follow the various humanitarian situations and expresses its solidarity with those affected, we have decided to support the emergency response to the earthquake in Mediterranean region by donating €50,000 to Tulipe in 2023.
