Roche Ranked Most Sustainable Healthcare Company in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the Eighth Year Running

For the eighth consecutive year, Roche has been recognized as group leader in sustainability with the Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology & Life Sciences Industry of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI).

The DJSI is based on in-depth analysis of economic, social, and environmental performance, and serves as a benchmark for investors who integrate sustainability considerations into their portfolios. Roche performed well in a number of categories and has maintained its leadership in the pharmaceuticals sector through its sustainability strategy, which is embedded in the company’s culture and business.

Roche CEO Severin Schwan comments, “We are very proud of this recognition. Our selection once again as the world’s most sustainable healthcare company was only possible through the dedicated efforts of Roche employees across the Group. Sustainability is an integral part of what we do at Roche and at the heart of our business, now and in the future. I strongly believe that our main contribution to society is improving healthcare, developing diagnostic tests and medicines to meet some of the most urgent medical needs. If we are successful in exactly doing this, we will have a long and lasting impact.”

While Roche has pursued sustainability for more than 120 years, in 2016 the company took its first steps in response to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations General Assembly to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.
