Strategic Action. Transformational Growth.

Transformation is the central theme of our growth story. It defines the strategies we adopt and the actions we take.

While we develop cutting-edge therapies to transform healthcare, we also care about the health of our planet and the welfare of our people and the communities in which we operate. Our responsible business practices, which embed social impact in all that we do, includes adopting strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices.

Patient Equity

Over the years, we have built a strong, affordable innovation model, which has enabled us to lower the cost of lifesaving therapies and bring them within the reach of people suffering from chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer and autoimmune conditions. Affordability has always been a challenge to patients in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as well as, to those that cannot afford insurance in many high-income countries. Our biosimilars for cancer such as Trastuzumab and Bevacizumab, as well as our human insulin and insulin analogs for people with diabetes are providing equitable and affordable access to millions of patients across the world.

People Equity

Underpinning our patient equity initiatives is our commitment to create a collaborative, empowering, diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace. We aim to make Biocon an equal opportunity enterprise, from recruitment to career and leadership development. We would like to get to a 50:50 gender ratio by 2030 as we firmly believe that greater gender diversity offers benefits such as corporate governance, leadership, entrepreneurship and innovation.

Environmental Equity

While we pursue our purpose of using biotechnology to develop therapies that heal the world, we are equally concerned about the health of our planet and the depleting ecological balance. As a responsible corporate citizen, we have designed our operations to enable environmental sustainability with a low carbon footprint, maximum recycling of wastewater and use of green power.
