Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Roche

For over 120 years Roche has been committed to improving lives. The long-term thinking of our founders has allowed us to stay true to this vision. Our greatest contribution to society is lasting innovation. When acting sustainably, we also aim to provide a rewarding workplace, be a trustworthy partner and engage in the communities we work in and with.

Roche has been recognised as the most sustainable healthcare company in the 2018 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices.

Environmental Sustainability

Our Safety, Security, Health and Environment (SHE) Commitment
We strive to ensure a safe working environment and to protect the health of our employees. Our emphasis on sustainability allows us to expand our business while minimising our ecological footprint.

Community Impact and Philanthropy

A tradition of philanthropy has existed at Roche for more than a century. We support social causes, educational initiatives, encourage youth engagement with STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and an interest in science by communities at large, and promote contemporary cultural activities. The common purpose of our activities is to make a lasting impact by building stronger and healthier communities. We are global citizens supporting local efforts.

Philanthropy is our commitment to society and communities in which we operate – beyond our primary business and R&D activities.
