We ACT - Sustainability Manifesto

We live in a time of great change. The equilibrium of a planet exploited beyond its limits is continuously evolving. We ourselves have changed the way we live and view society. The most fragile and vulnerable pay the price: those who are often left behind in this rush to make progress.   At Chiesi we have always believed it is necessary to take care of our planet and the people who inhabit it, discovering the value of mutual solidarity, aware that every individual, as well as...

Processes

At Chiesi, processes cover all production operations and those which enable the business to continue running, including decision-making procedures and internal company practices impacting employees and the biosphere.   We are committed to generating the following beneficial effects by means of our processes: guaranteeing a regular supply of high-quality medicines for patients in need; reducing our impact on the biosphere; promoting self-realisation and wellbeing for people at...

Communities

Chiesi’s commitment also involves promoting the development of local communities where the company operates, with the aim of facilitating sustainable growth in the area.   Sustainability at Chiesi also means recognising the strong interdependence between a company and the system in which it operates, including the local community. We therefore want to contribute to the economic, social, environmental and cultural sustainability of the societies in which we live...

Chiesi Foundation

Our commitment goes beyond the areas where we operate to improve the health and relieve the suffering of patients with respiratory and neonatal diseases in countries where the company does not commercialise its products and where access to quality healthcare is not always guaranteed. This is the mission pursued by the Chiesi Foundation, a no-profit organisation founded in 2005 as an expression of Chiesi Farmaceutici’s social responsibility. The Chiesi Foundation is...
