ESG at CURIUM
MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT
At Curium, we are committed to act ethically and be socially and environmentally responsible, while maintaining profitability and sound governance.
Which is why Curium created an ESG department in 2022 with a priority on developing a Group ESG strategy based on four pillars:
- Minimize environmental impact (E)
- Responsible workforce and beyond (S)
- Responsible business, maintaining and building trust (G)
- Focus on growth, lead in innovation, and add value to society (Pharma).
Environmental, Social and Governance
Meeting Future Requirements and Stakeholder Expectations
These pillars are not only necessary to prepare Curium for future legislative requirements such as the ones set out in the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), but they are also consistent with the expectations of our employees, our customers, and our investors.
Our commitment to ESG is being demonstrated through various initiatives and actions, such as:
- The implementation of Curium’s ESG strategy is being monitored by strong governance involving the company’s senior leadership team and its Board of Directors.
- Curium has started to monitor the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of its activities and we are investing in tools and resources to ensure (i) we can rely on accurate and reliable data going forward and (ii) we identify the right actions to reduce our energy consumption and so the GHG emissions.
- We educate our employees to improve understanding of the causes and consequences of the climate change based on Climate fresk The workshops are organized within several Curium entities in different regions several times a year: 14 employees covering all Curium languages were trained to organize these workshops.
