Sustainability matters for STADA

We embed sustainability into our operations through seven focused program areas. This translates into progress on greenhouse gas emissions, resource conserving operations and sustainability management across our complex supply network. By promoting environmental and social standards with our value-chain partners, we contribute to a more robust supply chain, which is essential for our competitiveness and for the stability of the healthcare systems we serve.
Transparency builds trust, and trust is fundamental in healthcare. In dynamic times, clarity in strategy and execution becomes a decisive advantage. We will continue to focus on growth, operational performance and innovation. We, at STADA see an exciting future full of opportunities for us, but even more important a healthier future for societies and individual patients.

SUSTAINABILITY AT STADA
Seven strategic fields of action guide sustainability at STADA. The program reflects our assessment of the material impacts, risks, and opportunities inherent in our business and operating model. They provide a strategic framework to set goals, steer actions, and align responsibilities, supporting responsible business practices and value creation as a healthcare company in line with STADAs purpose ‘Caring for People’s Health as a trusted Partner’.
Along the strategic fields of action, we set measurable and impactful targets within each program area and hold ourselves accountable for delivering on our commitments.
The Seven Strategic Fields
About Sustainability at STADA
At STADA, sustainability means taking responsibility for how we impact the environment, people and society. We focus on the topics where our business has the biggest impact and that matter most to our company and our stakeholders. This helps us plan and track our work on Environment, Social and Governance (ESG).
Our sustainability reporting already follows key requirements of the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). While this is still voluntary for us, it helps us prepare early for future obligations and makes our reporting more comparable.
Environment
For STADA, environmental sustainability means using energy and resources responsibly within our own operations, reducing our carbon footprint and working with our value chain to lower environmental impacts. This helps us mitigate climate change and adapt to its effects.
Social
Social sustainability at STADA means ongoing efforts for our colleagues, our business partners and the communities where we work. Improving access to medicine is central to our purpose, and we believe that strong engagement among colleagues and a safe, empowering work culture are key to fulfilling this purpose and driving STADA’s performance and growth.
Governance
We support a culture and organization based on integrity, respect, and accountability. As a pharmaceutical company, we are subject to many national and international regulations. Making sure we comply with the law, act ethically and take responsibility for our supply chain is essential for us.
