Governance
Select section:
Robust sustainability governance framework
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. It is an elementary responsibility of the Board of Directors (BoD). The Nomination and Compensation Committee (NCC) of the BoD works closely with Accelleron executive management to prepare strategic discussions to inform BoD decisions on sustainability.
The CEO is supported by a Sustainability Committee consisting of the senior financial, human resources and sustainability, communications, value chain, legal, strategy and investor relations executives. The committee meets on a regular basis to ensure swift collaboration and coordination between all departments, as well as effective communication with the NCC and BoD.
Members of the Executive Committee (EC) are responsible for implementing the sustainability strategy, cascading targets and measures throughout the organization, assigning responsibilities, and reviewing progress. A designated Global Health, Safety and Environment team and a Sustainability Manager report to the Chief Human Resources and Sustainability Officer, and inform and support the sustainability activities of the CEO and EC.
Sustainability Policy
Our Sustainability Policy sets out how we integrate environmental, social, and governance considerations into our strategy, operations, and decision-making. The policy covers our key commitments, from climate action, sustainable supply chains and responsible innovation to human rights, safe workplaces, and ethical business conduct. It applies to all our global operations and business relationships, creating value and resilience across the organization.
Code of Conduct
Our Accelleron Code of Conduct (CoC) is the cornerstone of our commitment to upholding integrity in all areas. It applies globally to all of our people, including in consolidated joint venture companies. A dedicated Supplier CoC applies to our suppliers and other business partners, focused on SA 8000 norm, ISO 14001 and the IPCC’s latest criteria. More information may be found here.
