Our social responsibility

Crucell has always been a company with a deep commitment to society. Our mission is to protect people from infectious diseases by bringing innovative vaccines and antibodies to all who need them. At the same time, we work in other ways to help make the world a better place. Crucell strives to be a good employer and business partner, to respect the planet and to reach out to communities with knowledge and expertise as well as material support.

Our commitment

Several years ago, Crucell set up a special global program focusing on good corporate citizenship. We call it our corporate social responsibility (CSR) program. Its goal is to maximize our contribution to society and minimize our impact on the environment. Employee engagement, accountability and transparent reporting are key elements of this initiative. In this report, we share highlights from our CSR program during 2011 and outline the way forward this year.

An ongoing journey

Those of you who have seen our previous annual CSR reports will notice a new approach this year. We have opted for a more informal style of reporting. As the center of excellence for vaccines within the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, we anticipate that the ways we measure CSR progress may change in the future. What will remain is the spirit that has inspired this initiative and, indeed, everything we do as a company dedicated to bringing innovation to global health.
