SUSTAINABILITY

Our sustainability journey

Patient-centric sustainability

Camurus’ commitment to improve the lives of patients with severe and chronic diseases has a clear sustainability perspective. The ambition is to create patient and societal benefit in parallel by minimizing risks and environmental impact throughout the value chain.

Our sustainability agenda

Camurus’ sustainability work includes several dimensions in the ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) area. The strategy is divided into four focus areas – patients, people, planet and responsible business – with established ambitions, goals, key figures and activities and aims to contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
