Environment

Environmental aspects have always been dealt with sensitively within APL. All our properties, units, products and services impact on the environment in some way, and we have chosen to focus on the most important aspects.

We work towards constant improvements and a sustainable company. This means that we are constantly reviewing our processes to minimise waste of resources. The result is less environmental impact, efficient processes, better finances, a better customer offering and a contribution to society for sustainable development.

The Global Goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable development

APL has joined the 17 UN Global Goals and the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable development.

Based on the owner's expectations of APL as a state-owned company, our mission, our connection to, for example, the UN Global Compact and Fossil Free Sweden, as well as our stakeholders' expectations and ambitions, APL has chosen to prioritize six of the goals:

• Good health and well-being (Goal 3)
• Clean water and sanitation (Goal 6)
• Affordable and clean energy (Goal 7)
• Decent work and economic growth (Goal 8)
• Responsible consuption and production (Goal 12)
• Climate action (Goal 13)
  

Based on these, we have formulated four long-term goals for long-term sustainable growth and profitability, with the aim of 2030:

1. Develop and provide a quality assured and medically purposeful range of individualized extemporaneous drugs (Goal 3)
2. Create growth with increased productivity as well as being an attractive employer that continually further develops our employees' skills in an equal environment that promotes diversity (Goal 8)
3. Reduce the use of fossil energy sources and logistics services and minimize resource use and emissions in our production (Goals 12, 13)
4. Actively ensure that employees and suppliers comply with the APL Ethical Guidelines and Code of Conduct and actively protect human rights with zero tolerance against corruption and bribery (Goals 8)
