Culture of Care

1. It concerns everyone

For years, research-based pharmaceutical companies have striven to improve animal welfare in research. At the same time, the employees, managers and corporate management in the entire organization must not be neglected. A Culture of Care therefore takes a holistic view of appreciation, resilience and well-being of animals and humans alike. The Culture of Care must be deeply embedded in the corporate culture. Ideally, it is reflected in all business activities. The lived Culture of Care in the field of animal welfare concerns everyone who has any influence on the well-being of animals. This goes for everyone from management, which establishes the framework conditions, to the animal keepers and researchers who have direct contact with the animals. It also concerns the workshops that maintain the facilities and other parts of the organization which, at first glance, appear to have nothing at all to do within vivo research.
