Acting responsibly

At Hikma, responsibility starts with our purpose: putting better health within reach, every day. We do this by making high-quality medicines more accessible to the people and communities who need them. Delivering on that purpose means investing in the people who make them possible, reducing our impact on the environment, and operating with integrity across everything we do.

Our guiding framework

Our framework reflects the areas that matter most to our business, our stakeholders and the communities we serve.

At its centre is advancing health and wellbeing. This is fundamental to who we are as a pharmaceutical company and directly connected to our purpose. We work to expand access to high-quality medicines, maintain rigorous standards for product quality and patient safety, and support healthier communities and stronger healthcare systems.

Around this, our three enabling priorities help us deliver our purpose responsibly and sustainably.

Four connected priorities

Advancing health and wellbeing

Access to high-quality medicines is at the heart of our responsibility strategy. We use our global manufacturing footprint, R&D capabilities and partnerships to expand access, respond to changing patient needs and strengthen healthcare systems.

Our people make our purpose possible. We are building a culture where people can grow, contribute and belong — supported by opportunities to develop their skills, prioritise their wellbeing and build meaningful careers.

We know that responsible business is a continuous journey

Making progress, transparently

We set objectives, measure our progress, listen to our stakeholders and identify where we need to do more. Our sustainability priorities are informed by our assessment of the issues that are most important to our business and stakeholders, as well as where Hikma can have the greatest positive impact. We report our progress transparently through our annual Sustainability Report and Annual Report, alongside regular updates throughout the year. As our business and the healthcare environment evolve, so will our approach. Our ambition is clear: to grow our business responsibly while continuing to put better health within reach, every day.
