Statement of Continued Support

For more than half a century Uni-pharma has been identified with the concepts of Ethics, Quality and Responsibility. With love and respect for society and passion for medical science, we have created an industry that has won the trust of all stakeholders and deservedly gained an important place in the domestic and international markets.

In a world that constantly changes, with steady steps and a vision for a bright future, we seek innovation and knowledge in every corner of the earth so that we can offer modern and affordable health solutions, improving the quality of life.

In this difficult environment for national economies, we continue to invest in our country with an expanded export network. Having recently created a new bioclimatic plant we operate unceasingly with insight and responsibility, having as strategic goal, sustainable development.

Fellow travelers in this bold journey are our People who, with their passion, teamwork and trust, give their best every day. Our people is our power, and our HR mechanisms operate without discrimination and exclusion. Today we count more than 250 employees. We offer job security and we are bound to their training and development. At the same time, we encourage initiatives and voluntarism and we motivate and support our people to take part in voluntary actions and become active citizens.

We recognize the significance of sustainability as well as our impact on the economy, society and the environment and this is integrated within our internal procedures and policies while at the same time we make sure that this commitment is communicated to our stakeholders.

Ethics is an integral part of our values and is embedded within our operations and procedures with corporate governance regulations in place to ensure legal compliance within every dimension of our operation.

As proud members of the Global Compact initiative, we are committed to the Ten Principles of the United Nations in terms of human rights, working conditions, the environment and the fight against corruption. In the following COP we present the practices and policies we apply as well as the initiatives we implement so as to turn our respect and commitment into actions.

In addition, our CSR Strategy adheres to the 17 Goals for Sustainable Development and is a point of reference for our international development strategy and partnerships.

We constantly organize initiatives and actions and we develop partnerships with NGOs and Institutions at both national and international level.

It is our duty to build a Sustainable Future.

The evaluation of Environmental Indicators for 2017 is set out below.

1. Water consumption per unit produced in 2017 was slightly increased compared to 2016 by 2,78%, due to the full operation of the new UNI-PHARMA 2 plant, but still remains below the environmental target of 2ml/bt.
2. Electricity consumption per unit produced was reduced, as set by target, by 3,69% compared to 2016 and approaching the target of 0.150 KWh/bt.
3. Consumption of Natural Gas per unit produced was also reduced, as set by target, by 5,56% compared to 2016 and even dropped below the environmental target of 0.005 Nm3 / bt.
4. The percentage of hazardous waste disposed to total waste was reduced by 59,01% due to the increase in the units produced and thus in the waste produced and in the waste recycled.
5. The percentage of recycled waste per unit produced was also significantly reduced, by 93,99% compared to 2016, as planned, due to the increase in production. Indeed, this percentage has fallen sharply below the target of 10 grams per unit produced due to the Group's systematic actions and initiatives related to integrated recycling (ie the sorting of solid non-hazardous waste at source and recycling by type of waste).
6. The Satisfaction of staff from the Company’s Environmental Management has decreased only marginally, by 1% compared to the previous year, but it still remains a high percentage of 81%. Further staff training will be carried out to inform the personnel about recycling, raising awareness of workers' environmental consciousness and the initiatives and synergies that need to be developed to protect the environment.
7. The hazardous waste disposed per unit produced was reduced by 2,54%, as planned, compared to 2016 and even exceeded the target of 1g / bt, due to the Group's systematic actions and initiatives related to the rational management of hazardous waste.
8. The percentage of recycled waste to total waste was also reduced by 5,44% compared to 2016, due to the increase in the production and thus in the waste generated. However, this percentage still needs further growth to reach the target. Further staff training, as above in Index 6, will be carried out with a view to informing about recycling, awareness of the workers' ecological consciousness, and the initiatives and synergies that need to be developed to protect the environment.
9. The cost of discarded raw materials expired or found to be out of specification in the warehouse has increased considerably, compared to 2016, due to the clearing of the old warehouse in view of the renovation of the old factory, resulting in the large destruction of old raw materials from past years.
10. The percentage of discarded packaging materials per total recycled waste decreased by 6,97% compared to 2016, due to the increase in recycled waste.
11. The contributory benefit of discarded packaging materials that expired or found to be out of specification in the warehouse increased significantly, by 45,54% compared to 2016, due to the Group's systematic actions and initiatives related to integrated recycling (ie sorting of solid non-hazardous waste at source and recycling by type of waste), against the Group's rewarding benefit.
12. The cost of disposing of hazardous waste increased significantly compared to 2016, due to the increase in the production and thus the waste generated.
