At Almirall, sustainability is more than a commitment; it is a core pillar that drives our mission to create long-term value and transform our patients’ world by helping them to realise their hopes and dreams for a healthy life.
Our sustainability efforts are overseen by a dedicated Sustainability Committee, which reports directly to the Management Board. This committee ensures that our actions are aligned with our corporate sustainability strategy approved by the Board of Directors and the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
The supervision and coordination of all business activities related to sustainability fall under the auspices of Almirall's CEO, with supervision from the Audit Commission. The CEO proposes the strategic lines and corporate plans regarding sustainability, establishes the necessary management and control measures, and reviews programmes and initiatives. The operational functions are delegated to the Sustainability Committee.

The United Nations 2030 Agenda provided a path to progress, setting out 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets with the aim of transforming our global development model by 2030. At Almirall, we want to play our part in meeting these Goals and we are members of the UN Global Compact, the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative to implement universal sustainability principles. Almirall supports the mission of the UN Global Compact to mobilise a global movement of sustainable companies and stakeholders to create the world we want.
We have conducted an in-depth analysis of the goals and targets that we can make the most productive contribution to. We evaluate our contribution to the SDGs by connecting them to our KPIs, targets and future strategic direction.
