Responsibility

Biogen pioneers innovative science to deliver new medicines to transform patients’ lives and to create value for shareholders and our communities. We see our business as a force for good through the patients we serve, the innovations we work to advance, the jobs we create and the communities we support.

Access & Health Equity

Biogen was founded on scientific excellence. We work to improve the lives of those living with the diseases that we treat by continuing to advance research and development, and by including access and broader health considerations as early as possible in the drug development cycle. In addition, we endeavor to ensure clinical trial enrollment aligns with the epidemiology of the disease.

Culture and Inclusion

Inclusion is a core value that supports our mission to transform patients’ lives. We are committed to building a workplace where everyone feels valued and included, recognizing that different perspectives spark creativity and drive our success.

Environment

By enhancing operational efficiency, compliance and risk reduction, environmental sustainability can help contribute to business value over the long term. Our approach to environmental issues continues to focus on three pillars: sustainable operations, responsible product development and engaged suppliers.

Commitment to Communities

The CoLab is a classroom-style community laboratory where local nonprofits, teachers and Biogen employees collaborate to catalyze the potential of life science learners contributing to a more effective healthcare ecosystem in the Greater Boston and RTP, North Carolina, areas. 

Biogen Foundation

The Biogen Foundation is committed to advancing better health by engaging our employees and collaborating with high-impact partners in local communities. Through the Foundation, we strive to make an impact beyond our medicines, focusing our grantmaking on equitable access to healthcare by strengthening health systems and providing access to nutritious food, a critical social determinant of health.

Reporting & Principles

Data disclosure can build trust, and Biogen has long been responsive to evolving stakeholder expectations around transparent reporting on material environment, social and governance (ESG) issues.

Our Approach to Corporate Responsibility

We care deeply about making a difference and we are passionate about our commitment to patients, our employees, the environment and the communities where we live, work and play. The foundation for these commitments is reflected in our approach to corporate responsibility — an approach we believe provides real benefit for our business and the world.

Our employees care deeply and believe in the work we do. We come to work every day knowing thousands of people worldwide count on Biogen and our therapies to make a meaningful difference in their lives.
