SUBMITTED FROM:

In January 1998, twelve people with vision, courage and enthusiasm founded in Greece the subsidiary of Chiesi, an Italian pharmaceutical company based in Parma with an enviable research work to show, especially in the field of respiratory diseases. A series of interesting products complement and strengthen the doctor's arsenal in recent years and provide reliable solutions to serious conditions, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and respiratory distress in newborns.

Today, Chiesi Hellas having already increased its staff and sales, is a properly organized company, with a dynamic presence in the Greek Pharmaceutical market, with high growth rates that are a serious legacy for an even better future.

Objective Action

The aim of the Code of Interdependence that we have created as Chiesi is to inspire our partner companies (our suppliers) to shape together a real Ecosystem, in which we will all together raise the level of sustainability as it is today, in order to achieve, and in many cases to we exceed the minimum requirements of the B Corp movement, of which Chiesi has been a part since 2019.

At Chiesi, we manage our partnerships with care and attention - for us it's not just a supply chain, it's a real Value Chain.

Target Audience

Chiesi suppliers

Duration

November 2020 onwards

Description

The Interdependence Code is a set of values, goals and tools derived from the collaboration within Chiesi and the companies that are part of its ecosystem and represents a fundamental part of the evolution path towards full sustainability. Through the code we recognize how necessary and urgent it is to act, with the awareness that each of us is necessary to the other and that we are all responsible for future generations.

It is an innovative document, 24 pages, based on 4 important international frameworks such as PSCI (Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative), ILO, B Corp and the UN SDGs. Developed by Chiesi in direct collaboration with its strategic partners, it is a dynamic document that will be updated annually and according to new sustainability and partnership requirements, focusing on 8 of the 17 SDGs supported by Chiesi.
