Our Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) RSE

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) (RSE)

Our CSR approach reflects our dedication to ethical business practices, environmental responsibility, and a positive societal impact.

CSR committee (COMITÉ RSE)

Since September 2022, a dedicated CSR committee has been responsible for guiding and overseeing our CSR strategy. The main missions of this committee are to establish and manage our CSR strategy, assess our environmental commitments in relation to regulatory developments, and identify opportunities in the field of CSR.

This committee works closely with the company’s various stakeholders, ensuring a cross-functional and coherent approach to our CSR initiatives. Participation in the committee’s meetings is open to all Skyepharma employees.

Since its creation in 2019, the committee’s management has been entrusted to the HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) department, highlighting our commitment to integrating CSR into the core of our operational functioning. Thanks to this dedicated structure and the commitment of our teams, we are engaged in a proactive CSR approach, aiming to create long-term value for our company and for society as a whole.

 

  • Professional Integration: Actively supporting young professionals with internships and apprenticeships (26 trainees in 2022).
  • Managerial Culture: Four-day training for managers to foster a shared leadership approach.
  • Team Cohesion: Encouraging team spirit through regular sports events (e.g., Skyetour, badminton tournaments).

Social Responsibility & Community Engagement

We believe in making a positive impact beyond our company by supporting local communities and promoting equality:
