Overview of Our Responsibilities

As a global healthcare company, Fresenius Kabi is Committed to Life. That’s why Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an integral part of our mission to put essential medicines and technologies into the hands of healthcare providers as they work to find the best solutions for their patients’ challenges.

Our mission goes beyond the lives of our patients: It also encompasses the life of our planet and society as a whole. As such, we consider good corporate citizenship to be crucial to our operations. We put care into our employees’ local communities, as well as global environmental protection.
 

Businesses’ obligation to drive positive societal change

Our world is facing urgent environmental and social challenges. With climate change, resource depletion, pandemics, and social inequality all around us, we can only overcome these issues if we work together.

Civic engagement is undoubtedly necessary, but we are convinced: companies in particular must play a decisive role in solving social and ecological challenges.

Adopting responsible business practices is just the beginning. Companies must engage with stakeholders and support initiatives that promote social and environmental sustainability. By leveraging resources and influence, businesses can help shape a better, more inclusive, and sustainable future.

How we live Corporate Social Responsibility: Our CSR Agenda

We support the Sustainable Development Goals and focus on five action fields  

The UN SDGs and Fresenius Kabi’s CSR are interconnected, with both promoting sustainable development, addressing social and environmental challenges, and creating a positive impact on society. 

Therefore, the SDGs provide a comprehensive framework and guidance for our own CSR initiatives. 

By integrating the two, we can enhance our own social and environmental impact while making a meaningful contribution to the global goals.

Our CSR is embedded in our business operations and serves as an important part of our overall business strategy. CSR revolves around five key areas: employees, products and services, business ethics, community, and environment. 

The five action fields of our Corporate Social Responsibility

While the SDGs form overall societal expectations, we focus internally on three action fields in which our Corporate Social Responsibility is brought to life: 

- Our initiatives and learning programs for our employees 

- Our high-quality, safe products and services, as well as our technological innovation

- Our culture of integrity, accountability, and transparency, reflected in our business ethics

Further, with our business operations we have a direct impact on two further action fields:

- Our communities we serve

- The environment

Through our good corporate citizenship initiatives, as well as our commitment to environmental protection and sustainable resource use, we are closing the loop of our CSR agenda.

These five action fields are crucial to our company's sustainable success. They support our continued growth and empower us to positively impact global healthcare, patient care, and society at large.
