Protecting patients and the planet

From being one of the first pharmaceutical companies with a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-free treatment, to our ambitious investments in future respiratory innovations,1,2 we know action is needed to protect our planet – but not at the expense of the very best care for people with respiratory diseases.
At Chiesi, we believe true ‘sustainability’ can only be achieved with a broad array of projects that protect both patients and the planet. This holistic approach is key – and means we sometimes see things a little differently than other pharmaceutical companies.
We strive to consider every aspect of the long-term future of respiratory care for patients, healthcare professionals (HCPs) and the planet, for example:  
  • Providing a portfolio of pMDI and DPI devices – giving HCPs both prescribing options depending on patient needs
  • Encouraging inhaler prescribing that best suits the needs of the patient, and helping HCPs to involve patients in their treatment decisions
  • Offering educational and training support for HCPs within the NHS to support the implementation of national and local clinical guidelines
  • Investing millions in respiratory treatments with low global warming potential1
  • Supporting inhaler recycling projects across the UK,3 empowering patients to change the way they dispose of inhalers and return them to local pharmacies 
  • Pledging to become carbon neutral by 2035 by offsetting all greenhouse gas emissions generated by Chiesi – well ahead of the UK national target of 20504

Our approach to sustainability may surprise you.
