Serving People
our strategic pillars
Committed to health, committed to people
We build a health and safety culture grounded in proactive prevention measures. We roll out belonging and inclusion global programs and locally tailored initiatives, all fostering a sense of belonging for our employees. In the countries where we operate, we support local communities through health-focused volunteering actions.
Committed to health, committed to people
The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the supporting conventions provide an important foundation for developing a more sustainable world. Companies operating globally are confronted with human rights conditions in various settings in which they operate. It is therefore an important element of corporate social responsibility to protect human rights within the company’s sphere of influence.
Our commitment
At the Servier Group, we strive to ensure that human rights are safeguarded in all business activities where we operate. We define standards that reflect the values of the Servier Group and protect the rights of Servier employees and people involved in our research and development or otherwise affected by our business activities.
Ensuring Health and Safety
Adults use around one-third of their time at work. Conditions in the workplace, therefore, have a significant impact on people’s health, safety, and well-being. Globally, an estimated 2.3 million workers die annually due to work-related accidents or illnesses (ILO). An increasing number of cases of stress-related diseases and mental health issues, particularly among office workers, make up a significant share of the health burden in many societies. Among physical workers, preventing accidents and protecting them from hazardous substances remains a challenge in many countries.
Our commitment
As a healthcare company, we care about the health of those who work for us as employees, contractors or with our suppliers. We take prevention and education measures to ensure safety in all our activities and promote a healthy work-life balance at all our sites.
Making Safety a priority
It is by protecting the health and safety of our employees that we are able to foster a fulfilling working environment. With our Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) strategy, we are committed to ensuring a safe, healthy, and sustainable work environment for all, and to conducting our operations in a manner that minimizes our impact on the environment.
To bolster the safety culture and thereby reduce the total number of accidents, we launched the SAFE (Safety Always For Everyone) program in 2021 and updated it in 2024 under SAFE3. SAFE3 sets out the essential safety rules to follow throughout the Group and gives details of ways to encourage all people working in our facilities to buy into the philosophy.
Our objectives
Fostering inclusion and belonging
Historical inequalities, cultural norms, and barriers continue to limit equal opportunities for population groups. Social and economic structures often reinforce exclusion, making it difficult for some populations to fully participate in education, employment, and leadership. This lack of inclusion not only affects individuals but also limits innovation and progress.
Our commitment
We foster an inclusive work environment where all employees have a sense of belonging, are respected, valued, and are able to contribute to the vocation and success of the Servier Group. We ensure non-discrimination, equal opportunities, and merit-based decision-making in the way we recruit, manage, and develop people.
Our ambition
50%
of people occupying managerial positions in the Group in 2025 were women
7
local networks striving to achieve parity in 5 countries: these structures create networking opportunities, organize events for members to connect with one another, and hold personal development workshops, while also operating leadership and mentoring programs.
Networks to promote gender equality
Several local networks have been set up to help promote gender equality in the workplace. These networks are highly active, organizing networking opportunities, meetings between members, personal development workshops and participation in leadership and mentoring programs. There are seven networks in place in five countries: at the Group’s headquarters, at the R&D site in Paris-Saclay, as well as the production sites of Gidy in France, Arklow in Ireland, Anpharm in Poland, Tianjin in China and Toledo in Spain. Other networks are currently being set up, including at the Bolbec site in France.
Engaging Communities
Businesses affect local communities where they have sites and local offices in various ways. In areas with industrial operations, the positive impact in terms of taxes paid, employment, and livelihoods can be important to the local community. Investing in communities, fostering good relations with neighboring businesses and households, and leveraging the resources of employees to take local actions can, therefore, contribute to responsible business.
Our commitment
We wish to contribute to a positive impact on the local communities where we operate through our presence. We encourage partnerships with local organizations and employees to take actions that can contribute to awareness and engagement on issues related to sustainability and health.
At Servier, we have a long record of taking various local initiatives in France and in many other countries on social and environmental matters. As part of our transition towards 2030, we will leverage these initiatives and gather them under a common framework.
Our objectives
Ensure all strategic affiliates and sites have a local social commitment strategy in 2030.
