Our approach

Creating Value for the Collective Good

At Chiesi, sustainability is rooted in the principle of creating shared value to benefit all our stakeholders: patients, people, the planet, and communities.
It is built into our business strategy as it is central to who we are. Guided by our mission to improve the quality of human life, we tackle societal challenges with impactful solutions that make a lasting difference.

 

Benefit Corporation – Legal Commitment

We have chosen to become a Benefit Corporation, embedding our commitment to social and environmental responsibility into our by-laws. This means we are legally required to improve our sustainability performance and report on it annually to ensure we meet our targets.
Chiesi is incorporated as a Società Benefit in Italy, as a Société à Mission in France, and as a Benefit Corporation in the United States.

B Corp – Third-Party Certification

We believe in the importance of being evaluated by an independent, credible, and transparent third party.
In 2019, Chiesi achieved B Corporation certification, joining a global network of companies that meet the same rigorous requirements for environmental and social performance standards.
To maintain certification, we undergo a comprehensive impact assessment every three years (B Impact Assessment). In 2022, we were recertified with a score of 103.8 out of 200 and are actively working to improve for our next recertification in 2025.

We ACT – Chiesi People in Action

In 2018, Chiesi launched "We ACT – We Actively Care for Tomorrow", a program designed to inspire and engage all employees to adopt sustainable practices that benefit society and the environment. Each year, we come together for We ACT Day, a global celebration of our achievements in driving positive impact and fostering a "shared value" mindset.

 

The We ACT program was launched with Chiesi’s Sustainability Manifesto. Read it here.

 

UN 2030 Agenda

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) play an important role in creating a more equitable and prosperous world. We recognize their worth in helping businesses understand their role in building a better world.
Chiesi values all 17 SDGs equally but has identified 9 where our contributions can have the greatest impact. This selection aligns with our business model and leverages our unique skills and expertise.
