Safety & Environmental protection

Safety, health and environmental protection (SHE) are an integral part of our business activities. We want to ensure the safety and health of our employees and to protect the environment as effectively as possible.

Promoting health awareness and a safety culture among our employees are top priorities for us. We endeavour to do so by means of training and strict safety standards.

The activities we undertake to protect the vital natural resources of water, air, soil and the climate comply with high ecological standards. We want to create a sustainable future for energy.

Examples of how we meet our corporate and social responsibilities can be found in our report "Safety, Health and Environmental Protection 2010, Roche Basel and Kaiseraugst" (PDF/Detailed data ).

You will find further information on Roche activities in the fields of safety and environmental protection on the Roche Corporate Website.
