Roche has maintained its leadership through its sustainability strategy, which is fully embedded in the company’s business and culture.

“We are proud of being recognised once again for our consistent and lasting engagement on sustainability,” says Roche CEO Severin Schwan. “This achievement strongly resonates in the context of our 125th anniversary, and highlights our heritage and our continued commitment to society.”
