Our company-wide sustainability focus areas
Our commitment to improving access to healthcare is grounded in meaningful collaboration with caregivers, authorities, research institutions, and patient associations.
We are committed to a diverse, skilled, and engaged workforce. We foster a positive work environment and wellbeing through community building and initiatives that promote inclusion and diverse perspectives.
As a company, MSD is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across our global operations (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) by 2045. Aligned with our sustainability goals, 100% of the electricity purchased for our MSD Switzerland facilities comes from renewable energy sources. We continuously strive to operate energy-efficiently and minimize our environmental footprint at these sites.
We are committed to fostering a culture of safety where employees feel empowered to voice their concerns, a commitment reinforced through leadership communication and initiatives such as individual psychological safety training.
Our efforts in Switzerland are aligned with our sustainability strategy
At MSD, we continuously strive to make our working methods more ecological and to shape the healthcare system to be increasingly diverse and inclusive, as well as to strengthen the health literacy of patients worldwide. We are convinced that sustainable action is also the key to long-term success.
With our commitment, we contribute to the sustainability goals of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda, the so-called Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In doing so, we create added value for patients, our customers, society, and ourselves as a company.
