Ipsen SA reports that it has implemented an “internal management system to oversee our public policy activities and trade association memberships” and to “track our annual monetary contributions and other political expenditures,” ensuring adherence to “the highest standards of ethical conduct and transparency.” The company further notes that “Ipsen is a member of EFPIA,” whose White Paper on Climate Change calls on members to “establish climate change policies and strategies based on materiality and impact” and to “pursue science-based CO2 reduction targets.” Additionally, Ipsen states that it has made a public commitment to conduct its engagement activities “in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.” However, the company does not disclose any specific procedures for reviewing or managing climate-related lobbying, does not explain how it aligns either its direct advocacy or its trade association involvement with its own climate strategy, and does not identify any individual or body responsible for oversight of lobbying alignment.

Ipsen provides only limited insight into its climate-policy lobbying. It acknowledges that it focuses on the broad area of energy-efficiency and “carbon reductions achieved from more efficient chemical processes,” and notes its work through national and EU legislation, but it does not name any specific directive, bill, or regulation it has tried to influence. The company does outline several indirect channels it uses, stating that it is “working with EFPIA,” “working through the American Chemical Society (ACS) on green chemistry alternatives to manufacturing peptide products,” and “working with the UN Global Compact to enhance awareness around carbon emission impacts,” yet it does not identify the particular government bodies or decision-makers targeted through these partnerships or describe concrete activities such as consultations, letters, or meetings. The outcomes it seeks are expressed only in broad terms—encouraging and rewarding energy-efficiency improvements and increasing awareness of adaptation needs—without spelling out specific legislative changes, quantitative targets, or amendments it supports or opposes. Overall, the disclosure leaves important gaps on the exact policies, lobbying tactics, and concrete objectives behind the company’s climate-related advocacy.
