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.

By 2030, Boehringer strives to expand access to healthcare for 50 million people in underserved communities 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 terms of environmental stewardship.

“For me, the launch of ‘Imagine’ is a significant milestone, as we would like to share more stories of what we do around the globe. It is a vivid testament of how every day, we fill our commitments with life,” states Maria Tereno, Chief Sustainability & Culture Officer at Boehringer Ingelheim. “Our sustainability approach is based on our strengths as a global health company and reflects our commitment to creating more health for humans and animals, for our people and our communities and the planet. Sustainability is an integral part of our core values. We strive to embed it in everything we do, knowing that we can always do better – sustainability is a continuous learning journey.”
