🦄 Had a fantastic time delivering a lecture on #sustainability at the Universität Zürich for the "Current Topics in ESG Reporting" seminar! Together with Dr. Isolda Agustí and Dr. Volker Herdtweck, I shared insights on: 1️⃣ Beliefs and Attitudes: Sustainability is driven by a balance of #mindset and #tools - we must evolve how we think, act, and measure impact to move forward. 2️⃣ Roche Sustainability at a Glance: We follow the principle of #Evolution, recognizing that sustainability itself is an evolving journey—constantly improving to meet today’s needs while anticipating future challenges. It's about adapting as the world, technology, and healthcare demands shift. 3️⃣ My/Your Responsibility: We all have a role in making sustainability #actionable, from industry to individuals. Using the #BothAnd approach, it's about integrating patient care with planet care—sustainability is everyone’s job. A special thanks to Isolda for her valuable introduction to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)—a critical tool in understanding the full impact of products. 🌿 ❓ A great question from the students: Is sustainability a business case? My answer: Absolutely! Here’s the triple win: Patients: 👩⚕️ Access to innovative, sustainable healthcare products Planet: 🌍 Reducing our environmental footprint Company: 🏢 Future-proofing the operations while fostering trust and transparency Big thanks again to Verena Braun and Patricia Ruffing-Straube for hosting this excellent seminar! #Sustainability #ESG #BusinessCase #TripleWin #Roche #LCA #MindsetShift #Innovation
Thank you, Dominik, Isolda, and Volker for these great insights and lively presentations!
So true, Dominik Zaugg ‘sustainability is everyones Job’ and even the little steps make a difference as they can inspire others to follow. Sustainability a business case, for sure! It’s about securing the continuation of business. If we continue to exploit the planet without giving back the future of businesses will be at risk.
It was a real pleasure to have you at our seminar!
We accelerate progress towards sustainable solutions by building bridges and connecting people.
6moDominik Zaugg Dr. Isolda Agustí It was a great and inspirational session with you! For me I can say if I have again the chance to invite you to my former great workplace and inspire students about #sustainability I would not wait to knock again on your door. This is what Roche makes for me a great workplace, colleagues like you who are not tired to go an extramile to inspire the future of our workforce about a topic that can be a great starting point for #innovation. #Rocheproud #IP2TIS #IP #TakeAction
