Zentiva Receives Esteemed ESG Transparency Award 2025

Zentiva, a prominent player in the European generics pharmaceutical sector, has made headlines by earning the prestigious ESG Transparency Award 2025 from EUPD Group. This accolade is granted to organizations that exhibit exceptional clarity, structure, and openness in their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting.

This award was presented at the ESG 2025 Summit, part of the European Sustainability Week 2025, which was meticulously organized by EUPD Group. Zentiva's recognition underscores the company’s substantial commitment to embedding sustainability within its core business strategies while communicating its efforts transparently according to applicable standards.

The recognition received by Zentiva stems from its Excellence Level in the ESG Transparency Award, highlighting the company’s thorough clarity, accessibility, and transparency in sustainability reporting. This distinction aligns Zentiva with Europe’s leading organizations recognized for their commitment to transparent ESG reporting.

In their submissions, Zentiva showcased a well-structured sustainability approach embedded in European governance and reporting processes. The firm not only reported on its renewable electricity usage in European manufacturing sites but did so within a broader climate strategy that reflects long-term commitment. Furthermore, the comprehensive calculation of its indirect carbon footprint utilized an externally reviewed methodology, enhancing the integrity of its data. The company clearly outlined its governance structures and emphasized the Audit Committee's pivotal role in approving sustainability plans, which spotlights its determination to facilitate positive change for society and the environment.

Steffen Klink, Chief Operations Officer of EUPD Group, expressed pride in recognizing Zentiva. He stated, “We are thrilled to congratulate Zentiva for its outstanding commitment to transparent ESG communication, clearly demonstrating its accountability in publicizing impacts, risks, and opportunities in key environmental, social, and governance areas. This dedication to comprehensive performance, which includes ambitious decarbonization goals and robust global policies on ethical conduct and responsible sourcing, sets a definitive benchmark for excellence in the sector.”

Ines Windisch, Director of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability at Zentiva, shared her thoughts: “We are truly proud to receive this award for our sustainability reporting. It recognizes a journey that goes far beyond mere regulatory compliance; it’s about learning, testing, piloting, and acting with courage and transparency. At Zentiva, we believe small steps can yield significant outcomes, and we must act today for a sustainable future. Sustainability is not merely a responsibility; it's an opportunity for individuals and partners to create lasting positive impacts for future generations. This award is a milestone that inspires us to continue pushing forward.”
