Almac Group today announces the release [1] of the company’s 2023
Corporate Social Responsibility report, which highlights Almac’s
progress and commitments to our people, our planet, and the communities

The report also provides insights into Almac’s client delivery across

growth strategy posed to sustain best-in-class service offerings to
clients and bolster innovation.
Alan Armstrong, Chairman and CEO, commented: “Almac’s mission to
advance human health is the driving force behind everything we do as an
organisation. We are exceedingly proud of how we have delivered on our
responsibilities this year—particularly, our progress towards our
commitment to reach net zero by 2045, our further investment in health
and wellbeing offerings for our people, and our contributions to our
communities.”
“We are also proud to recognise the essential role our colleagues have
played in our success – by living out our mission each day, they are
collectively impacting human health across the globe.”
In 2022, Almac announced [2] a commitment to reach net zero by 2045, and
to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50 percent by 2030.
Highlights from this year’s report that support the company’s net
zero ambition include:
* Joining the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) [3], which
defines and promotes best practice in science-based target setting for
the reduction of greenhouse gases
* Appointing [4] a dedicated Global Energy Manager to drive actions to
support Almac’s net zero commitment, and develop business improvement
initiatives across the globe
Almac is also wholly committed to supporting, developing, and rewarding
our people, as well as making a positive and lasting contribution to our
communities. Highlights from the last year in these areas include:
* 2,000 employees received recognition awards
* Reaching 100% of employees with health and wellbeing programmes
* Supporting 40 different charities through global philanthropy
