Our sustainability journey

Prioritizing medical sustainability

Camurus' commitment to improve quality of life for patients with severe and chronic diseases has a clear sustainability perspective. Our ambition is to contribute to a healthier world in a sustainable way by developing innovative and potentially life-changing medicines for the benefit of patients, caregivers, and society at large.
