Why it matters
Boehringer’s sustainability strategy, ‘Sustainable Development for Generations’, takes an integrated holistic approach that is based on the three pillars MORE HEALTH, MORE POTENTIAL and MORE GREEN. It incorporates initiatives that the company has been implementing for many years, continuously evolving them in consideration of shifting sustainability challenges, and in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement.
By 2030, Boehringer strives to expand access to healthcare for 50 million people and improving the lives of another 50 million by engaging employees, partners, and social entrepreneurs. Additionally, the aim is to be carbon neutral in operations (Scope 1 and 2), cut the resource footprint by half across the value chain and continue to create best practices in environmental stewardship.
“Sustainable Development for Generations is about how we can use our strengths as a healthcare company to create solutions which enable more health for humans and animals, for our people and communities and the planet. Innovation and collaboration are key to making a difference,” states Maria Tereno, Chief Sustainability & Culture Officer at Boehringer Ingelheim. “We are learning as we go, we believe that we can always do better. With these stories we want to share with you our commitment and how we are helping people and animals to live better lives, while doing our part to protect the environment. “
