Crucell’s commitment to the world – Taking responsibility
Taking responsibility for a better world
Crucell is making great strides with the
implementation of a comprehensive policy
for integrating sustainability practices in our
organization. In 2009, we outlined our CSR 4P
policy framework incorporating the four ‘Ps’
of Performance, People, Planet and Philanthropy.
In 2010, we focused on bringing this policy to life
in our global organization, with substantial success.
A first step in this process was to establish a CSR Working Group, which
is responsible for driving continuous progress in the four P-categories.
With strong support from Crucell’s Management Board and many Crucell
employees worldwide, this group has risen to the challenge of introducing
a consistent approach to CSR development, information management
and reporting. Despite the complexity of harmonizing data and
definitions across departments and sites, close to full data coverage has
been achieved. This will enable us to measure our progress and further
improve both target setting and reporting in the years ahead.
At the same time, we have been seizing opportunities for increasing
our contribution to society right here and now. The rapid evolution
of ‘Footprint’, our community outreach program, is one exciting
example of this. The introduction of global learning and development
programs for Crucell employees is another. Wherever possible, we
have achieved quick wins regarding our environmental impact, while
working towards a more comprehensive approach in the longer term.
Looking to the future, we are delighted that talks we held with Johnson
& Johnson during 2010 have resulted in Crucell becoming the center
of excellence for vaccines within the world’s largest and possibly most
respected healthcare company. As a member of the Johnson & Johnson
Family of Companies, we can do so much more to make the world we
live in a healthier and safer place. This is our core business, our passion
and a key component of our CSR program.
