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:
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.

Driving everything we do
We make the biggest impact when we work with people who live with a rare disease, cancer or a neurological condition, their families and caregivers to really understand the realities of their experience. When we talk about patient centricity, we understand being a patient is only one aspect of a person’s identity. Ipsen is committed to working closely and inclusively with the patient community to impact medical care and patient outcomes in our focus fields of Oncology, Rare Disease and Neuroscience.

Making a real impact, every day
As well as patients, we care deeply for our employees, and our communities. We believe all employees should be treated fairly, and we work diligently to optimize the health, safety and well-being of our teams. We also seek to make a positive impact on our communities through the work we do.

Acting with integrity and responsibility
Our sustainability is based on a strong ethical mindset. At all levels of the organization, and in all our operations, we are committed to acting with integrity and transparency. Our governance pillar is about ethical, responsible business practices and transparency

Our passion for helping patients extends beyond the office walls
We endeavor to have a responsible and sustainable impact on patients, society, and the environment. We are people who aim to make a difference in our communities, both inside and outside of the workplace. We match donations from employees to support nonprofit organizations through Ipsen Gives Back, our matching gifts program. Every year, our employees participate in a Day of Service, focusing on – and working side-by-side with – organizations that help lift up our local communities. We also come together to participate in events that raise awareness of the diseases that impact the patients we serve.
