Addressing critical Issues
Boehringer Ingelheim's major interests include the health and safety of employees, neighbours and customers as well as protecting the environment from harmful influences. To support this goal, our crisis management plays an important role.
Cornerstones of the issue management process
As a pharmaceutical company we actively strive for constantly optimizing our systems and our concepts in order to be prepared for handling a crisis. Cornerstones of the crisis management process are:
- tracking of critical issues
- dealing with potentially adverse events
- managing critical situations
To support the process, we have established measures at our corporate headquarters and in our operating units:
- duty officer service
- detailed crisis and emergency plans
- regular crisis simulation exercises
- regular EHS audits at our production sites
