Social responsibility at the Institut Pasteur

Our support to the United Nations Global Compact

The Institut Pasteur supports the United Nations Global Compact and its 10 principles on human rights, labor standards, environmental protection and anti-corruption.

In a bid to increase the scope that these 10 principles offer in its sphere of influence, the Institut Pasteur has undertaken to make them part of its strategy, culture and process.

It has also committed to issuing a formal public statement endorsing these principles and to informing its staff and partners of its Global Compact membership.

In line with its culture of responsibility and transparency, the Institut Pasteur will publish the results of its initiatives to ensure practical application of the 10 Global Compact principles.

The Institut Pasteur has been supporting the United Nations Global Compact since June 2010 and each year publishes a report on the progress made.

 

 

OUR COMMITMENT IN “PARIS ACTION CLIMAT BIODIVERSITÉ” PACT

Logo - Paris Action climat biodiversité

Move towards energy-efficient research that respects sustainable development

The Institut Pasteur has signed the “Paris Action Climat” of the City of Paris since 2020. It has been revised in 2022 to become a new pact named Paris Action Climat Biodiversité (Climate Biodiversity Action Plan). It proposes to Parisian economic and institutional actors to be key players in Paris’ commitment for climate.
"Gold level" in the initial system (“Paris Action Climat”), the Institut Pasteur signed the new pact in November 2022. Through this, our foundation highlights its commitment and mobilization to reduce its environmental footprint but also benefits from a structuring framework aimed to achieving its objectives.
