A tradition of commitment
At Roche we
are committed to sustainability and thus to running our business in a way that
is ethical,
responsible and creates long-term value. And, since it takes up to 12 years to bring a new drug to market,
our business model inevitably has a long-term focus. We must be responsive to developments in science
and society, generate a level of resources that ensures our independence and be willing to take calculated
risks.
The trust of our key stakeholders - shareholders and employees,
patients and customers, the medical and scientific community, regulatory and other public authorities
and the communities in which our facilities are located - is essential. Our ‘licence to operate’ is
based on our ability to generate sustainable value. We do this by focusing on our core purpose and main
contribution to society: creating innovative solutions for unmet medical needs.
Sustainability
is thus not an option we can choose or reject; it is an integral part of the way we do business - day
by day, year by year, now and in the future.
