Our purpose is to do now what patients need next. How we identify and meet those needs − what we do every day − must be sustainable if we are to succeed. It is why sustainability is built into our business strategy and part of everyone’s job at Roche. We contribute to a better society by enabling the right treatment for the right patient at the right time for the right value. We do this by developing new medicines and ways of diagnosing disease and insights from data. Since the founding of our company, we have been developing innovative solutions for a wide range of chronic and life threatening health conditions that continue to revolutionise healthcare. Our approach to increasing access to healthcare ensures our life-changing solutions reach people around the world. Respect for a healthy planet and the environment has always been a priority of our founding families and the company. We are committed to halving the environmental impact of our operations and products from 2019 to 2029. We can help mitigate and overcome today’s most pressing environmental issues by setting realistic but ambitious goals and continuously measuring and monitoring our total environmental impact. Protecting the environment is integral to our operations. Devoting special attention to prevention by reducing risks is key to effective environmental management.
