Transparency and Trust

Promoting the needs and rights of patients, employees and society at large is vital to us at Ipsen and it is exactly the objective and essence of our Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy.   Our vision is to harness the power of our employees to have a responsible and sustainable impact on patients, society and the environment.  We need to act with integrity, meaning that we must build relationships based on trust. 

Transparency is also vital to building trust with patients, policy-makers, healthcare professionals (HCPs), healthcare organizations (HCOs) and citizens.  We are committed to meeting the growing and legitimate expectations of healthcare companies in society. This is why we seek to enhance understanding about the way our sector operates.

We conform to the highest ethical standards, in compliance with the ruling laws, regulations and industry codes.  As such, we disclose information concerning:

  • The transfer of values to HCPs/HCOs
  • Clinical trials
  • Scientific publications
  • Interactions with policy-makers
  • Support to Patient Organizations

Patients are our best teachers and working with Patient organizations is essential to have a deep understanding of what matters most. We are open and transparent about the initiatives we support, the partnerships we’ve made and the Patient organizations with which we collaborate. These collaborations help us understand how we can best provide support along every step of the way.

Based on our dedication to transparency and under the EFPIA Patient Organizations Code, Ipsen makes publicly available a list of patient organizations to which we provide financial support (grants, sponsorships, donations, etc. etc..) or significant non-financial support.

Ethics and compliance

Our bold and entrepreneurial spirit combined with the highest ethical standards constitutes the heart of our organisation. This is the foundation of our approach to listen, partner and work with all of our stakeholders.

Environment, health and safety (EHS)

We are committed to fostering a culture of continuous improvement to maintain the highest environment, health and safety (EHS) standards and to stand out as a world-class partner and employer of choice. We strive to integrate EHS excellence into our culture as we enable employees to deliver innovative products for patients worldwide. This starts with our S3 policy that helps us empower employees to ‘Step Up, Speak Out and Stay Safe’. Applying an organized, methodical approach, we are able to promote awareness and dialogue at every level.
