Your Health and Environment

Roche has a strong local and corporate commitment to employee safety and environmental sustainability. Employee health and safety is considered our first priority and we have an integrated program of employee consultation, workplace inspections and training across all areas of the business. We actively promote a strong safety culture where employees at all levels are empowered to report and address any safety issues arising from their work.

We are committed to the sustainable development of our business by considering the potential environmental impact of all of our business decisions in seeking to minimise our: 

• Energy usage
• Water usage
• Material usage and creation of waste
• Harmful emissions

We strive to be a leader within the pharmaceutical industry in environmental sustainability and have adopted corporate and local targets to reduce our use of resources including energy, water and the generation of waste. Employees are encouraged to participate in our programs including water conservation, recycling and green motoring. Within our Pharmaceuticals division our green motoring program enables employees entitled to a company vehicle to choose a hybrid vehicle and participate in an annual carbon offset tree planting event.
