Sustainability at the heart of all we do
At UCB, we know that the challenges facing our world – from the climate crisis to rising inequalities - are inextricably linked and that every business decision we make has a possible effect on the people we serve, our communities and the planet. We see sustainability as a core requirement that lies at the heart of all we do, driving our ambition to make a positive impact on society while empowering us to ensure UCB long-term success.
Our areas of focus are based on a thorough materiality assessment exercise with the goal to identify the most relevant environmental, social, and governance topics for UCB, based on how topics might create financial risks and opportunities for the company (outside-in perspective), as well as the company’s own impact on people and the environment (inside-out perspective).
Our commitments are not just about reducing our environmental footprint but relate to the ethical approach we take to provide new therapeutic innovations for people living with severe diseases, conduct business and interact with our people, communities and shareholders.
