WE ARE COMMITTED TO OUR PATIENTS, OUR TEAMS AND OUR COMMUNITY

Will Pharma is taking steps to reduce its environmental impact, as part of a long-term commitment to responsible business practices. As a century-old family-owned business, the future generations have always been at the heart of our business vision and concerns. Today, climate change threatens our children's peace of mind and represents a serious risk to public health. Therefore, Will Pharma is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions and moving toward a lower-carbon and more resource-efficient approach over time. Specifically, we are therefore committed to:

  • We have taken steps to improve our energy efficiency and increase our use of renewable energy. We have installed a 100 solar panels on the roof of our Wavre office, enabling to generate a share of our electricity from renewable energy on-site.
  • We are working to calculate our carbon footprint regularly, including as far as possible Scope 3 emissions, and we aim to report on our progress.
  • We encourage our key suppliers and carriers to consider measures to reduce their carbon impact and aim to integrate environmental criteria into our procurement processes.
  • Raising awareness of the climate emergency among our employees and partners and building a corporate culture that is aligned with our environmental engagement.
  • Take care of resources and avoid waste & chemicals as much as possible. We do not use strong chemicals in our garden and we use environmentally friendly cleaning products. We have installed a rainwater collector to reduce water usage.

At Will-Pharma we are driven by a profound commitment to creating positive change in the world. We firmly believe that businesses have a crucial role to play in addressing global climate change. One of the key frameworks guiding our efforts is the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Health is at the heart of our business. We prioritize health and well-being by providing high-quality healthcare products and services. We are committed to enhancing the quality of life of our patients and customers through our actions. We work with our production partners to apply quality standards and, where possible, explore production methods that may reduce environmental impacts. We also propose an annual vaccination program for our employees and raise awareness about mental health and well-being.

We actively promote women's empowerment and equal participation in decision-making. We also prohibit gender-based violence and discrimination by implementing inclusive hiring policies, promoting identical opportunities and insuring that all colleagues receive the same pay for the same work

At our Wavre headquarters, we have taken concrete steps to increase our use of renewable energy, including the installation of solar panels.

We are committed to implement policies to reduce income and wealth inequalities and to ban discrimination based on race, gender or any other factor. In line with our values, we prioritize hiring candidates whom we believe are best suited for the role

We are currently exploring opportunities to improve the environmental profile of our packaging for selected product lines.

We are dedicated to reducing our carbon emissions, we regularly hire Master's degree students (studying Environmental and Sustainability subjects) to propose improvements and raise awareness among our employees.

We work to identify and implement measures to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, including in our supply chain and logistics, and we aim to report on our progess over time.

We aim to reduce our environmental impact, and to contribute to the broader effort to protect ecosystems and biodiversity on our own scale. On our own site, we have taken small steps to support local biodiversity, such as installing beehives and leaving some grass areas unmown. We also support selected organisations working on environmental and humanitarian projects.

MEDICATION DONATIONS

By donating medicine, we strive to contribute to patient care in medically disadvantaged areas n a small scale. Every year, we support a humanitarian trip to Myanmar with the aim of treating orphans and adults with skin conditions, to which end Will Pharma donates various dermatological medicines. Through this programme, we give people the medication they need, improving quality of life for all in the long term.
