Why Boehringer Ingelheim
Our vision can be summed up in a few words: Value through Innovation. We’ve adopted this approach to ensure that we can take care of our people, patients and partners, now and in the future. The overarching objective is to build sustainable, all-round growth that benefits everybody. In order to achieve this goal, we continually develop new, effective treatments alongside our established products and encourage our people to move forward.

Social & environmental responsibility
We never lose touch with our mission: improving the health of humans and animals. To do this, we must be a caring, responsible and committed company, both within and outside our core activities. The ethical principles that have guided our company for over 130 years have created a culture of corporate citizenship, mutual respect and fairness. This underpins our commitment to protecting the environment and to the highest standards of ethics and transparency.
Responsibility as a corporate culture
We’re dedicated to serving people and animals around the world. That’s why we research diseases to continuously develop effective new treatments and therapies. Responsibility as a corporate culture, for us, means much more than business obligations. It’s our duty to care for ourselves, each other and our world. We consider it our responsibility to promote corporate citizenship by fostering economic and social wellbeing in the countries and communities to which our business connects us.
Corporate citizenship
Family-owned since our beginnings in 1885, we feel a special responsibility to support our communities across the world and respect our natural resources. We’re guided in our corporate responsibility by our core vision and values. It’s how we ensure that we meet our own high standards regarding access to health, ethical and transparent company practices, environmentally sustainable processes, scientific innovation and employee wellbeing.
Making More Health
Making More Health (MMH) is a global long-term initiative that aims to create a healthier world for individuals, animals and their communities. Since 2010, Boehringer Ingelheim and the non-governmental organisation Ashoka are working together in a global partnership. Together we engage actively in single social entrepreneurship projects. Ashoka displays competence in creating change and comes with the network and know-how to identify and to advance social innovators. Boehringer Ingelheim is competent in the healthcare and business sectors. We can provide the social entrepreneurs and changemakers with a great deal of experience in professional project management. Furthermore, we support the entrepreneurs and changemakers with our skills, experience, and network. One of these projects is the ‘Youth Venture Program’ in Spain, which aims to recognize and encourage entrepreneurial thinking in young people under 25 and help their ideas make a social impact on a larger scale.
