Sustainability
At Almirall, sustainability is more than a commitment; it is a core pillar that drives our mission to create long-term value and transform our patients’ world by helping them to realise their hopes and dreams for a healthy life.
Sustainability governance
Sustainability at Almirall is governed through a robust and clearly defined framework embedded at the highest level of corporate governance. The Board of Directors approves the sustainability strategy and oversees its implementation, while the Audit and Sustainability Commission ensures its effective integration into control and reporting systems.
The supervision and coordination of all business activities related to sustainability fall under the auspices of Almirall's CEO, delegating the operational functions to the Sustainability Committee.
The Sustainability Committee, composed of key company roles, steers sustainability objectives and action plans, acting as a bridge between business areas and executive management.
Act4Impact: our 2030 sustainability strategy
Thinking in generations
We have a long-term view of our contributions to dermatology and society. As a family-owned business, we think in generations, not quarters. We act decisively when we see opportunities to improve the lives of patients and dermatologists. We are committed to society and to achieving our goals advocating for a continuous improvement journey in sustainability.
Act4Impact: our 2030 sustainability strategy
Our “Act4Impact 2030 Sustainability Strategy” embedded in Almirall’s ambition to become a global leader in medical dermatology, is built on four strategic pillars – “Planet”, “People”, “Patients” and “Partners” – and is guided by our unwavering “Principles”. By reducing our environmental footprint, fostering responsible partnerships, and prioritizing the well-being of our employees and patients, we are dedicated to making a positive impact.
Guided by the “United Nations 2030 Agenda” and underpinning key Sustainable Development Goals, we strive to make a meaningful and lasting difference in society and the environment.
The strategy consists of 20 strategic lines of action, each monitored by indicators and targets to ensure robust and comparable monitoring over time. Through this comprehensive approach, Almirall strives to make a meaningful and lasting difference in society and the environment while upholding its core principles of transparency, responsibility, ethics and compliance.
