The Chiesi code of interdependence
The Code of Interdependence (CoI), Chiesi's standard of conduct for suppliers, partners, and distributors, was developed in collaboration with strategic partners in 2019 and updated in 2025. It serves as a set of values that guide Chiesi's interactions with entities that share our commitment to sustainability.
Rooted in 11 selected UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this framework includes mandatory requirements as well as improvement actions to guide those seeking deeper commitments. The code is aligned with the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI), the International Labor Organization (ILO), and B Corp principles.
More than 70% of Chiesi Group's annual strategic spend is with suppliers who have adopted the Code of Interdependence.
EcoVadis - Suppliers’ evaluation and assessment
Chiesi utilizes EcoVadis, an advanced third-party platform, to evaluate the sustainability practices of our strategic suppliers. We leverage on the EcoVadis scoring system to track progress toward a more sustainable value chain and our Scope 3 emissions target, and to engage in constructive dialogues with partners. By collaborating closely with our suppliers, we aim to foster mutual learning and drive collective evolution across the ecosystem.
Chiesi received in 2024 the EcoVadis Platinum Medal with a score of 83/100.
EcoVadis Platinum Medals are given to companies that have not only completed the rigorous assessment process but have also demonstrated exceptional management systems that meet the organization’s sustainability criteria. Companies must excel in four key areas to receive this recognition: environment, ethics, labor & human rights, and sustainable procurement.
