At UPSA, we place people at the heart of everything we do, supporting them through every stage of life.
Our purpose
UPSA has defined a clear purpose
We chose to undertake this initiative because we firmly believe in the value of corporate commitment. Our history demonstrates this belief, and today’s world demands it more than ever. We believe in a company that brings meaning to each of its actions, one that carefully considers its decisions in order to do good, and to do it well.
Our purpose is rooted in our past—it lies at the very origin of UPSA. It is reflected in every action we take today and will serve as our guiding star in the future. It expresses what we offer that is unique and specific to UPSA. It defines the impact we wish to have on society and the world, and the way in which we intend to achieve this—guided by who we truly are and by the values we deeply believe in.
This is our purpose, as defined by the UPSA Executive Committee.
We believe in humanity and in the human being
We are convinced of the absolute necessity to act with humanity in everything we do and at every moment. We pay close attention to each patient, each employee, and each partner. We strive to be a reliable companion throughout life’s journey. We manufacture medicines that relieve pain and everyday ailments, from infancy to old age. This human commitment is the very soul of UPSA.
We build relationships based on trust
Working in the healthcare sector entails a responsibility not only toward our employees, patients, and partners, but also toward our wider ecosystem and society as a whole. We make no compromises when it comes to safety and quality. We cultivate meaningful relationships through high standards and sincerity so that all those we interact with can place their full trust in us. That trust commits us and strengthens our sense of duty.
We listen carefully to the expectations of everyone we engage with
Listening is the posture that guides our actions, our communication, and our approach to relationships. Being attentive to the words and needs of others is the solid foundation of any healthy and balanced collaboration.
We root our expertise in local communities
UPSA embodies a unique and highly qualified skillset, carried by women and men who hold our emblem—the clover—close to their hearts. We are deeply committed to our French identity and to the principles of “Made in France.” UPSA is the story of a place, a region—Agen. We champion local production and values on an international scale. In all the regions where we operate, we build lasting partnerships based on trust, with the aim of developing a new, virtuous ecosystem where everyone can grow and thrive.
We are an active and responsible participant in our ecosystem
We support a business model that is both socially and environmentally responsible. We believe in companies that are engaged and play an active role in their communities, in their industries, in their countries, and on the planet. As a socio-economic actor, we cannot imagine acting in any way other than for others and with others.
