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.
Making More HealthMaking 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.
