Boehringer Ingelheim: Sustainable Development – For Generations

Contributing towards a healthier and more sustainable future

Since 1885, Boehringer Ingelheim has had a commitment to improve human and animal health – but we believe we can do more. For this generation and for generations to come.

Continuing a journey that began more than 135 years ago, we are continuing to build on our track record in addressing unmet health needs and increasing the company’s ambitions to tackle global health challenges. Operating across both human and animal health, we are uniquely placed to address intersecting sustainable development challenges and make a substantial contribution.

Boehringer Ingelheim’s ‘Sustainable Development – For Generations’ framework has three pillars: More Health, More Green and More Potential. Through these pillars, we implement 20 initiatives across the globe – some ongoing, and some new – furthering our contribution to the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

Specifically, we are renewing our commitment to areas in which Boehringer Ingelheim has the expertise and capability to create value for patients and communities:

• Expanding NCD healthcare access for 50 million people in vulnerable communities
• Investing EUR 250 million in partnerships and collaborations to combat infectious diseases in human and animal health
• Increased investment in health innovation to EUR 35 billion to tackle non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by 2030
• Supporting initiatives to alleviate significant challenges such as tackling rabies and African Animal Sleeping Sickness, as well as advancing parasitology, aiming at continuously integrating efficacy and environmental aspects

The strategic approach also focuses on the strength and value of collaboration and the long-term partnerships needed, to tackle complex global challenges.

As a company, we recognize the opportunity to have greater impact is through a shared agenda with others, striving to find better solutions to the health challenges of today and tomorrow, as well as improving health outcomes for all. Thus, contributing towards achieving a healthier and more sustainable future for society.
