Liveable planet

We preserve the environment for our own sake and that of future generations

At Ferrer we believe that our activity as a pharmaceutical company must create more environmental value than it consumes, involving our value chain to challenge established norms and thus lead the way towards sustainability, making our planet a more livable place.

Aware that we have a lot to do and many people to add on this journey, we have placed the preservation of the environment for our own good and that of future generations as a priority in our strategic plan.

Under the Liveable Planet pillar, we design strategies to accelerate climate action and protect natural capital

Accelerating climate action

In the face of the climate emergency and its consequences on the lives of millions of people around the world, inaction is not an option.

We have a Climate Transition Plan with the aim of reaching Net Zero by 2050 throughout the value chain. An objective that is specified in goals validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with short- and long-term milestones.

Decarbonization of operations

We improve the efficiency of processes and thermal systems, promote the generation and consumption of renewable electricity, and promote the progressive substitution of natural gas.

Sustainable Mobility

Sustainable mobility is a priority not only to reduce associated emissions, but also to improve the efficiency of the workforce's travel, strengthen the safety and well-being of Ferrer workers and generate a positive impact on the local environment.

By 2025 we will reduce our carbon footprint by 12% in scopes 1 and 2, compared to 2024.

Protecting Natural Capital

Nature is the tapestry where life is woven. Any activity we carry out has an impact on it and protecting and regenerating it is imperative to guarantee the well-being of all the people who inhabit – and will inhabit – the planet.

We seek to contribute to an increasingly respectful relationship with natural capital: we know that we are interdependent beings, among ourselves and with ecosystems, and that is why we focus on their care.

Circular Economy

We promote eco-design to minimise waste generation, and we improve the final management of waste that cannot be avoided.

Pollution prevention

We are redoubling our efforts to minimise the environmental impact of our activity and the polluting emissions that directly affect the environments where we operate.

We have a Self-Protection Plan that establishes the protocols for any environmental emergency in our facilities.
