With success comes responsibility

Behaving with integrity today...
Intervet takes its corporate responsibilities very seriously indeed. We are acutely conscious of our responsibilities to veterinary and farming professionals. We equally recognize our responsibilities to the other stakeholders in the animal healthcare industry chain, as well as to the animals whose health and well-being we are all committed to protecting. Finally, we accept our responsibility to the wider environment on which all of us, people and animals, are dependent for our future. These responsibilities are at the heart of our business principles, where they underpin the culture of integrity which we foster within the company.

Our aim is to conduct all aspects of our business so as to encourage social, environmental and economic benefit. To achieve this, we encourage and support all our employees to take rational, balanced decisions founded on principles of personal integrity and social responsibility.

Intervet’s Dieter Lütticken Award honors contributions from researchers to reducing levels of animal testing in the development and production of veterinary medicines.

...for a better future tomorrow
Intervet has come a long way since its foundation. A business focused initially on poultry vaccines has developed into one of the world’s three biggest animal health companies. Our diverse product portfolio is used by vets, farmers and other animal healthcare professionals in more than 100 countries. Our success is due to a number of factors. Not least of these is our extensive use of research to anticipate future developments in the animal healthcare market, and to position Intervet to play a central role with respect to these. This calls for continuous strategic decisions to be made with regard to our in-house business, our alliances and our acquisitions.

In considering all such decisions, we strive to ensure that our fundamental corporate values of care, collaboration, inspiration and innovation will be well served, and that Intervet’s culture of integrity will be properly respected. Our intention is to continue to develop our business through autonomous growth, in-licensing of technology and products, and selective acquisitions. With continuing regard for our corporate social responsibilities, our aim for the future is to offer a properly balanced presence in all key markets and product segments. At all times, however, our development, production and sales operations will be managed so as to maximize their benefits to animal healthcare professionals.
