History of an independent pharmaceutical company
DELBERT Pharma, a mission-driven company
Following on from DELBERT Pharma’s actions, becoming a misson-driven company gradually became an obvious choice.
The quality of a “mission-driven company” is an innovation introduced by the PACTE law (Plan d’Action pour la Croissance et la Transformation des Entreprises), enacted on May 22, 2019 in France, aimed at rethinking the role of companies in society. This quality represents a significant step forward for the integration of social and environmental issues into corporate strategy.
Defined in article L-210-10 of the French Commercial Code, it enables companies to voluntarily formalize social and/or environmental commitments in their bylaws, giving them a mission that reconciles the pursuit of profit with a contribution to the general interest.
By (re)placing social utility at the heart of their innovation process and their business and governance models, mission-driven companies also ensure long-term performance.
Implementing our mission is a journey towards achieving our statutory objectives. It is a path of continuous transformation, which requires integration into the day-to-day actions of all our teams, across the board and over the long term.
Eric Fidelin
Executive Vice-President, DELBERT Pharma
“From the outset, we have always been convinced of the importance of making a positive contribution to society through our pharmaceutical activities, in particular by putting patients left untreated at the heart of our concerns.
Over the years, we have invested significant resources in relocating production to Europe wherever possible. This investment helps reduce carbon emissions compared with drugs imported from Asia, and improves drug availability.
That’s why, in November 2023, we decided to become a Mission-driven company, and to include in our bylaws the following raison d’être, which is to act to maintain and develop medicines whose absence is detrimental to patients and to the balance of healthcare systems.
We are one of the few mission-driven pharmaceutical companies in France.
This approach, involving the commitment of all our teams and driven by our raison d’être and the statutory objectives we have set ourselves, federates them and raises the profile of the company beyond our walls”.
