As the European leader and flag bearer of natural medicine, we are committed to a policy of social responsibility guided by behavior and ethical values shared by all of the company's employees. This approach has been unanimously recognized and awarded 2 trophies:

Arkopharma receives the Departmental CSR trophy

The CSR commitment of the Arkopharma laboratories materialized on the 16th of October, 2014 with the obtaining of the Alpes-Maritimes CSR Trophy.

The European Commission defines the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility as "the will of a company to contribute to improving society and protecting the environment, in conjunction with stakeholders". Put more simply, , it is a company's contribution to the challenges of sustainable development.

CSR is part of the corporate strategy of Arkopharma Laboratories, which has incorporated this approach at different levels of its organization. In line with this logic, the Arkopharma Laboratories adhered to the U.N. Global Compact in 2013, Arkopharma is committed to supporting, advancing in its area of influence and integrating the ten principles grouped around human rights, International Labour Standards environmental protection and the fight against corruption.

This commitment continues and materializes to this day.

Our commitments to local associations

Support from the Bouchons d'Amour association: a generous initiative

In addition to the caps from our production site, many of our employees make their contribution through the seven collection points set up in the company. The association regularly comes by to collect the containers filled with caps as well as the plastic drums that we offer them to be reused in other places (schools, businesses) to serve as collection points.

The sums collected are used to acquire equipment for the disabled (wheelchairs, etc.) and to support humanitarian missions in France or abroad.
