Sustainability is not just an idea; it is action. It goes beyond what we see to create an impact we can all feel.
Sustainability has always played an essential role in everything we do at Almirall. From reducing our carbon footprint and better adressing patients’ needs to fostering innovation and supporting our teams, sustainability is more than a commitment for us; it is a pillar for creating long-term value.

Like any journey, our roadmap continues to evolve.  Together we care, our 2021 – 2023 Sustainability Strategy, marked an important milestone, during which  we promoted sustainable development, empowered growth, and acted with integrity. Building on what we have achieved, we are now ready to take the next step  to transform our patients’ lives and our own. It is time to raise the bar, increase our ambition, go beyond caring, and act for a greater impact.

Act for Impact, our 2030 Sustainability Strategy, is a foundational element of our plan to achieve our purpose. It is structured around four strategic pillars – Planet, People, Patients and Partners – and a fifth overarching element, Principles, which guides behaviour across all areas of the company.

The strategy comprises 20 strategic lines of action, each monitored through indicators and targets to ensure robust and comparable tracking over time. Through this comprehensive approach, Almirall aims to make a meaningful and lasting contribution to society and the environment while upholding its core principles of transparency, responsibility, ethics, and compliance.
