Sustainability

Good Health and Wellbeing: We enable a healthier world by working with our customers to overcome some of the greatest challenges in patient treatment. We aim to achieve this with products, services and cutting-edge technologies that can help to save, extend and enhance lives. The safety of our employees has always been a top priority for us and a healthy and safe workforce contributes to our success.

Climate Action: Based on scientific evidence, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contribute to global warming. This affects the climate globally, impacts the planet, health and wellbeing. To enable a healthier world, we must take decisive steps to reduce our own GHG emissions over the next decade and ultimately aim for net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.

Gender Equality: We gain and maintain our competitive advantage and strength by having a diverse global employee community, which embraces the value and benefit of differences in characteristic, preference, perspective and belief.

Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure: We continuously invest in innovation while further improving our operational excellence. We are also creating vital, game-changing technologies, including gene editing systems and automated therapy manufacturing systems. We aim to embed sustainability into our organic growth and footprint expansion by design.

Responsible Consumption and Production: We continue to reduce our impact on the environment and have programs to limit our material consumption and waste generation. We aspire to source materials from responsible suppliers that meet strict compliance standards and have actions in place to reduce their emissions, waste, natural resources in line with our expectations, in addition to a climate action plan which supports Lonza’s Scope 3 emissions reduction plan.

Clean Water and Sanitation: Access to clean, plentiful and potable water is a basic human need and critical to ensure the quality of our products. We need to protect the water ecosystem to ensure that they are not contaminated by pharmaceutical substances or other pollutants.

Quality Education: We recognize that our people are the cornerstone of our success and we want to see them grow. As we develop innovations in pharma, biotech and nutrition, we aim to increase partnerships and our contribution to the scientific community.
