2022-2023 INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT

FOCUS

The collective challenge of climate change

Today businesses are faced with a simple choice—adopt an earnest sustainable development strategy that is quantified and timescaled over the long-term… or compromise their very existence.

The Climate School training program has been rolled out to all Servier employees.

My conviction is that ecological transition will make existing jobs “greener”. Everyone will need to understand how the environmental transition will change their profession, by acquiring green skills in existing roles: marketers, lawyers, buyers, or IT specialists. The prerequisite for anticipating these changes in the corporate world is training. Its primary goal is to enable all employees to acquire a general environmental culture (climate, biodiversity, resources) and to understand how their profession will evolve. This is what we are trying to do with our Climate School training offer, which Servier has deployed to all its employees.

is our revamped target for 2030 to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions (scopes 1 & 2) compared to 2021/2022.

As highlighted during COP28, climate change has multiple consequences, particularly on human health. This reinforces our commitment to achieving our new emission reduction targets.

Life cycle assessment for Daflon®

By packaging Daflon in a single box containing 180 tablets instead of two boxes of 90 tablets each, packed in a larger box, Servier has enabled a reduction in its CO2 emissions equivalent to 800,000 kilometers traveled by car. This eco-design approach also saves water, equivalent to the volume of 32 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Under the Spanish sun

670 photovoltaic modules were installed at the Toledo and Madrid facilities. Around 450,000 kWh is generated each year, which represents nearly 10% of their total electricity consumption. Implementing our road map to cut our carbon footprint, these two facilities are powered exclusively by renewable energy, as are Jacarepagua and Pharlab in Brazil and our research center in Budapest, Hungary.

FOCUS

A positive impact for society at large

Although profitability and growth remain the primary focus of any business, social responsibility is starting to become equally as important, in particular in the eyes of consumers and employees. Here, we consider the impact of these changes.

These initiatives give deeper meaning to employees’ careers!

Mécénat Servier enables our Group to fully live up to its role as a responsible, community-minded business. We give our people the opportunity to make a difference and truly live and breathe our corporate values through four different schemes—skills-based sponsorship, solidarity leave, solidarity seminars and donations made by employees choosing to round down their salaries.

This year, we will go even further by setting up a skills-based sponsorship program especially for employees who are close to retirement age to enable them to dedicate between six months and two years full time to a public interest organization while maintaining their full pay. These initiatives give deeper meaning to employees’ careers!

Humanitarian aid in Turkey

After the devastating earthquakes that hit Turkey in February 2023, Mécénat Servier donated €500,000 to Needs Map to build a 434 square meters community center in Kahramanmaraş. The center gives families a place to go during the day where they can take part in social and community activities.

A culture of diversity, equity and inclusion

At Servier, diversity, equity and inclusion are not simply buzz words, programs and statistics. We foster a culture of diversity and inclusion to ensure our employees enjoy a respectful working environment built around mutual trust. Each year for the past four years, we organize the Servier Diversity and Inclusion week around the world. The event involves a range of conferences, talks, meet & greets as well as tips and tricks to spark dialogue and shine a spotlight on these different issues.
