<strong>Crucell</strong>’s commitment to the world – Taking responsibility<br />

Organization and governance<br />

A CSR Working Group comprising the P-owners and several <strong>Crucell</strong><br />

employees with a special advisory role was established in the first quarter<br />

of 2010. It is a diverse group of senior managers representing a wide<br />

range of disciplines and different <strong>Crucell</strong> sites. Members of the CSR<br />

Working Group gather information from all levels and parts of the<br />

organization. They also initiate improvements with support and<br />

advice from the Management Board. Overall ownership of CSR has<br />

been taken on by Chief Executive Officer Ronald Brus, ensuring<br />

top-level support for its ongoing development.<br />

The CSR Working Group meets on a quarterly basis to discuss progress<br />

and formulate plans for the future. Cees de Jong, <strong>Crucell</strong>’s Chief<br />

Operating Officer, chaired these meetings in 2010 and reported<br />

on their outcomes at meetings of the Management Board. This<br />

participation reflects the importance <strong>Crucell</strong>’s top management<br />

places on CSR, and ensures governance of the program at<br />

Management Board level.<br />

Bringing our CSR policy to life<br />

While strong leadership is essential for driving our CSR program, its<br />

success will depend on how firmly it can be embedded in the fabric<br />

of our organization and brought to life. That was our priority over<br />

the past year.<br />

In the next section of this report, we focus on each of the P-categories<br />

in turn, describing our current level of achievement, the actions<br />

undertaken in 2010, our progress relative to the targets and<br />

ambitions formulated in 2009, and our priorities for the future.<br />
