Sustainability is central to Roche’ s mission, encompassing fair access to innovation, equitable workplaces and environmental stewardship. Roche integrates ethical sourcing, recyclable packaging and responsible product management throughout its operations. It aims to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2045, with SBTi-validated targets and strong climate governance. The company was nearing 100 % sustainable electricity by the end of 2025, aided by increasing efficiency and procuring renewables generation. Roche is also phasing out potent halogenated hydrocarbons and reducing other air pollutants. Meanwhile, every Roche factory or office site has a roadmap to cut energy use and adopt clean heat. Because more than 90 % of Roche’ s footprint is Scope 3, the company is focusing on four levers: circular product lifecycle, waste prevention and reuse over incineration, lower-impact business travel and supplier engagement. By 2029, suppliers responsible for 70 % of emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods and upstream transport and distribution will have science-based targets.
