    • Sustainability is Our Business Approach

    At UCB, our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitment is grounded in creating a sustainable impact for people living with severe diseases and for society as a whole. By advancing science, addressing unmet patient needs, and promoting health equity, we strive to make meaningful contributions while minimizing our environmental footprint and optimizing shareholder value. Through responsible, ethical behavior and collaboration with patients, partners, and employees, we work to build a healthier, more equitable world where innovation translates into accessible solutions and measurable value for communities worldwide.

     

    Our approach was developed considering our key stakeholders (the patients we serve, our colleagues, our shareholders, the communities around us, and the planet) and encompassing key areas where we have the most potential to deliver sustainable impact and value creation, given our specific skills, expertise, and heritage:

    U.S. Innovation

    To create value for patients, we focus on building a pipeline of differentiated solutions (scientific innovation) and improving patient access to these solutions to all who need them (access to medicines with diversity, equity, and inclusion in mind) in a way that is viable for patients, UCB and the society. 

    Health Safety and Wellbeing

    To create value for our employees, we aim to foster a working environment where all our people can thrive by being happy, healthy, and safe (focus on their health, safety and wellbeing and diversity, equity, and inclusion). 

    Access to Medicines

    To create value for our shareholders who enable us to pursue our long-term ambitions, we are committed to delivering on our financial commitments and improve UCB Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) ratings.

    UCBUSA

    To create value to communities, we partner with and support organizations and institutions in areas that can contribute to improving health around us, and on which we can have the biggest impact. 

    Health of the Planet

    To create value for the planet, we commit to the transition towards a low carbon and green economy, acknowledging the relationship between environmental issues and human health.

    Ethics and Compliance

    All of this happens in an environment that promotes ethical behaviors. 

    About the Community Health Fund

    To support the most vulnerable populations impacted by COVID-19 directly and indirectly, in 2020 UCB launched the UCB Community Health Fund. By supporting impact-driven projects and social science research studies, the Fund, managed by the King Baudouin Foundation aims to bring much needed relief to our communities. This initiative goes beyond our areas of clinical interest, seeking to meet the physical, mental, and psychosocial health needs of at-risk communities. This includes minorities such as children, young people, older people, those who are socio-economically disadvantaged, un(der)insured, and/or those living with certain medical conditions.
