Our Approach
As a family-owned company, we are driven by the ambition to serve humankind by improving human and animal health -– both now and in future. As part of this, we have developed a more ambitious framework: Sustainable Development – For Generations.
We have defined three pillars which are at the heart of Sustainable Development – For Generations journey and our business: More Health, More Potential and More Green. Through these, our expertise at Boehringer Ingelheim can contribute to creating solutions to global challenges, and to help enable sustainable change. The impact areas of each pillar reflect our core business and align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
At Boehringer Ingelheim, we find ourselves in a position where we can leverage our strengths as a global health company, uniqueness as a leader in both human and animal health and our strong heritage in working to transform lives to make a positive, lasting impact.
Sustainable Development goes hand-in-hand with our principles of planning in generations, innovation, taking responsibility for our communities and the environment and serving humankind – today and tomorrow.
With Sustainable Development - For Generations we take an integrated holistic approach, focusing on three pillars:
- More Health – for good health of people and animals
- More Potential – for good health of communities and our people
- More Green – for good health of the planet
Within these pillars we focus on six impact areas:
- Providing access to healthcare
- Addressing unmet needs in non-communicable diseases
- Combating infectious diseases
- Contributing to food security and safety
- Co-creating healthy, inclusive, sustainable communities
- Caring for our environment
