Social responsibility

Chiesi strongly believes in people and that every company should focus on the individual. A company's decisions and activities have a direct impact on people: patients, company staff and family, suppliers, customers, the local community, banks, government, media, competitors and all other interested parties.

Corporate Social Responsibility in Chiesi’s way of thinking means a good relationship with the community and our employees, the environment and our surroundings.
