BioGaia contributes to better health by selling products with clinically-proven effects. Our business’s health is not only determined by how our products affect our consumers directly but also by their impact on the planet and society as a whole. Therefore, we have divided our sustainability work into three categories:
BioGaia’s operations are based on offering healthy products that promote health and well-being. Product development is based on research conducted in an ethical and transparent manner in order to offer clinically proven products of the highest quality that contribute to better health.
A prerequisite for developing and selling healthy products is that our business operates in a sound and ethical manner. A healthy business is characterized by BioGaia taking into account, communicating and managing our impact on our stakeholders in a responsible manner and that employees are satisfied and inspired at work and have the opportunity to develop.
The health of our planet and the health and well-being of people are strongly linked. This is why BioGaia, in our ambition to contribute to better health, must also be aware of how our actions and our products impact the environment and the well-being of the planet. By caring for both people’s health and the planet’s health, we can contribute to a more sustainable and healthy future.
As a value-driven organisation, BioGaia believes strong community engagement goes hand in hand with deliberate sustainability work. BioGaia is involved in and supports a number of organisations focused on areas with links to BioGaia’s business.
Since 2013, BioGaia has purchased carbon offsets for the company’s emissions. However, in 2022 the company decided to support the Climate Transformation Fund to maximise the impact of its climate investments.
BioGaia supports Children’s Mission for their work with poor children and families in the Philippines. Children’s Mission runs schools, offers children opportunities for education and healthcare and runs children’s homes as well as a support programmes.
In 2017, BioGaia founded The Foundation to Prevent Antibiotic Resistance, an independent foundation with the aim of preventing antibiotic resistance.
BioGaia, through the organisation Friends of Panzi, supports the 2018 Nobel prize laureate Dr Denis Mukwege and his important work at the Panzi Hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the company’s sustainability performance. The CEO reports on the progress of the company’s sustainability work at every Board meeting.
BioGaia regularly reports information about our work to customers and investors in our sustainability report in accordance with GRI and via global reporting platforms.
