As a purpose-driven company, we believe serving humanity through science has never mattered more. For Biogen, that includes bolstering our commitment to corporate responsibility, caring deeply about making a positive difference for patients, our employees, the environment and the communities where we live and work. Climate, health and equity are deeply interrelated challenges that demand bold action, and that’s why we are working to advance a healthier, more sustainable and equitable world.
Responsibility
Access & Health Equity
We are committed to addressing inequities across the healthcare ecosystem – from research and clinical trials to equitable access and culturally competent care.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We seek to engage the world’s brightest minds and have long prioritized diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) not only as a moral imperative, but as a competitive strength.
Healthy Climate, Healthy Lives™
The climate crisis is a health crisis. Recognizing the urgent need to accelerate action, we launched Healthy Climate, Healthy LivesTM, our initiative to eliminate fossil fuel emissions across our operations and collaborate with renowned institutions to advance the science and action to improve health outcomes.
Commitment to Communities
The Biogen Community Lab — the longest-running, hands-on corporate community science lab in the U.S. — has engaged students in 25 countries, with a focus on those traditionally underrepresented in the field, inspiring the next generation of scientists.
Biogen Foundation
From our headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to 50 countries around the world, we have made a difference for 3 million people, promoting health equity, delivering science education for diverse populations and helping our neighbors meet basic needs.

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 ESG
As pioneers in neuroscience, Biogen discovers, develops, and delivers worldwide innovative therapies for people living with serious neurological diseases as well as related therapeutic adjacencies. 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 ESG — 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.
We are committed to advancing health equity for the disease areas we treat, help provide a solution to social and environmental challenges, cultivate a workplace that enables our employees to thrive, support local communities and inspire future generations of scientists. This is central to our mission and vital to our growth.
