Our impact
We’re putting better health within reach, every day. By creating high-quality products and making them accessible to those who need them, we’re helping to shape a healthier world that enriches all our communities.
Making a positive impact for all stakeholders.
We engage healthcare professionals to better understand their needs, helping them treat the patients they serve.
We provide healthcare professionals and patients across our markets with over 760 high-quality and affordable medicines, ensuring they are readily accessible. We achieve this by aligning our commercial activities, operations, and R&D efforts to the evolving needs of patients and healthcare professionals.
Our employees have always been at the heart of everything we do.
We promote employee development and growth, ensure their health and safety, and cultivate a diverse and inclusive environment.
The passion and commitment of our people to our values is key to delivering our purpose and supports our growth plans. One of our key strategic priorities is to build a culture that inspires and enables our people, one in which they are empowered to drive innovation and are committed to caring for customers, patients and communities around the world.
Our customers are our business partners and we are
committed to providing them with a consistent and reliable supply of high-quality medicines.
We work closely with Group Purchasing Organisations (GPOs), hospitals, retailers, wholesalers and others to build strong relationships and enhance service levels. Our commercial teams work closely with our different customers to understand their needs, reduce drug shortages and ensure we invest in the products, manufacturing capacity and capabilities needed to meet their requirements.
We are a responsible and sustainable company and have a duty of care towards our communities and the environment.
Since its inception, Hikma has been dedicated to transforming people’s lives by providing the medicines they need and supporting the communities where we live and work. Making positive contributions to the communities where we operate, and providing assistance to those in need, supports long-term, sustainable growth, while positively impacting society.
We also strive to minimise our environmental impacts and are committed to making our operations more energy efficient.

Success stories
Supporting education with UNHCR
Over the past four years, Hikma has partnered with the UNHCR's DAFI (Albert Einstein German Academic Refugee Initiative) Scholarship Programme to sponsor scholarships and offer scholars opportunities such as visiting our manufacturing sites.
Fatma, a former Yemeni DAFI student who studied medicine in Egypt, one of the focus countries of Hikma’s support, explains
"DAFI made me believe in myself and my abilities as a middle eastern woman, as the first woman in my family line to get the opportunity of higher education. It’s undeniable that DAFI was an integral part of my journey, facilitating the hardships and paving the way to reach my goal of becoming an efficient, experienced doctor, and more importantly, a person who gives back to her community."

Supporting our communities
Building STEM skills for under represented students
Our US employee resource group, the Black Employees Advisory Board launched a community programme to build skills in STEM - science, technology, engineering and maths to help prepare young under-represented US students for promising careers.
Hikma's role in delivering essential medicines to those in need is of great importance. It is a responsibility that we must all take seriously. I remain wholeheartedly committed to ensuring that we act responsibly and deliver a profoundly positive impact on patients, communities, and the environment.
