Our Commitment

Sustainability has always been at the core of our ethical commitment. Our goal is to translate this commitment into results with integrity while operating in a socially and environmentally responsible manner, thus creating Shared Value. We strive to create Shared Value by addressing social challenges and business opportunities together, connecting our company success with social progress. Today, sustainability represents a crucial element of the strategic vision of the company, which is committed to: 

• adopting a governance system based on transparency and responsibility;
• promoting the professional and personal development of its people and their wellbeing;
• protecting the planet and minimizing the impacts generated by the company’s activities;
• finding effective solutions for patients’ unmet medical needs;
• serving the community and those most in need.

 

We chose to become a Benefit Corporation, an innovative legal status that allows us to serve a dual purpose: not only creating value for our shareholders but pursuing the collective good. Internally, we have launched “We Act - Actively Care for Tomorrow”, a sustainability program that involves the whole Chiesi population in a coordinated effort.

The next step in our journey was achieving certification as a B Corp. As a B Corp in the biopharmaceutical industry, Chiesi is counted among businesses that are leading a global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. B Corps are companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. To become a B Corp, a company is required to achieve a minimum score on the B Impact Assessment, which is a rigorous assessment of the company’s impact on its workers, customers, community and environment. B Corps are also required to publish a yearly Impact Report for transparency. Using standardized assessment criteria, we have been able to identify areas for potential development throughout the company and establish best practices to be extended to all our affiliates worldwide.

Chiesi in the Community

At Chiesi, our commitment to community engagement is more than just a promise we strive to drive our mission to create lasting, positive change by being a powerful force for good that.
Our sustainability efforts are deeply intertwined with our long-term vision, focusing on economic, social, environmental, and cultural growth that benefits both people and the planet.

We believe that when communities thrive, businesses thrive alongside them. We underscore our dedication by pledging 1% of our annual revenues each year, prioritizing action over words.

Chiesi in the Community is designed to address pressing societal challenges through two distinct components: Enterprise Level Partnerships and Passion-Driven Employee Engagement Opportunities.

Our Enterprise Level Partnerships are integral to our mission, focusing on immediate and long-term health solutions. By concentrating our efforts on four key focus areas, we drive change and encourage innovation. These partnerships are pivotal in creating a healthier future by tackling social determinants of health. We strive to build strategic partnerships that address:

• Access to Healthcare – Ensuring patients receive the care they need, regardless of their circumstances.
• Food Security – Equipping communities to enhance access to nutritious food, a cornerstone of health and well-being.
• Environmental Health – Protecting our planet for future generations through sustainable practices.
• STEM Education – Empowering the next generation of innovators and leaders to drive progress and diversity of thought in healthcare and beyond.

In parallel, Chiesi’s Passion-Driven Employee Initiatives empower our workforce to champion causes they are passionate about. Our employees are encouraged to engage with impactful organizations and activities, supported by company resources such as dollar matching and volunteer hour benefits. This approach not only fosters personal growth but also strengthens community connections, allowing our team to make a tangible difference.

Together, these components reflect our holistic strategy to improve health outcomes and nurture the future of healthcare, underscoring our commitment to community engagement and sustainability. At Chiesi, working collaboratively ensures a brighter, healthier future for all.
