Galenica Strategy
Galenica’s corporate strategy focuses on four strategic areas of action, each of which has two priorities. This is what we use as a guide and how we measure ourselves. We pursue our vision consistently: to give our customers our best every day for their health and well-being.
The strategy – our Galenica story – is based on developments and megatrends that have been identified in Galenica’s business environment and ensures that we can react flexibly to changes. This means that we are well equipped for the opportunities and challenges of the healthcare system of today and tomorrow.
Megatrends identified include:
- Digitalisation
- Interconnectedness
- Changing consumer needs
- Ageing society
- Climate change
- Diversity and equal opportunities
- Shortage of skilled workers
Galenica’s strategy is based on exploiting the opportunities presented by megatrends while also minimising risks. By focusing on innovation and sustainability, we are positioning ourselves as a pioneer in a rapidly changing world.
