Vetter recognised for its commitment to occupational health management with award

Vetter, a global contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO), has been recognised for its commitment to occupational health management with the Corporate Health Award’s Recognition of Excellence.

The Corporate Health Awards are held annually and recognise companies that have made an above average contribution to their employees’ healthcare as well as pursuing a sustainable HR strategy. Vetter was recognised for excellence in the category ‘chemical and pharma industry’.

“Our clients value the high quality we offer in realizing various projects, often those involving highly complex pharmaceutical or biotechnological undertakings,” said Vetter managing director Peter Soelkner. “As a company that operates in the healthcare sector, it is a matter of course for us to apply this essence of quality across the board, including those actions concerning the healthcare services we offer our own employees. The well-being and good health of all the staff are important in this respect.”

In order to participate in the awards, each company has to complete a comprehensive audit where independent experts analyse the quality and effectiveness of a company’s occupational health management.

“The individual audits we perform are in-depth. We examine how sustainably a programme has been incorporated into a company’s structure and how its employees can benefit,” explained Markus A.W. Hoehner, CEO of the market research company EuPD Research Sustainable Management, and one of the initiators of the Corporate Health Award. “We find that Vetter has a well-planned and highly structured concept in place. The entire programme is holistic in design and therefore offers the employees real added value.”

“With our occupational health management, which is managed under the title ‘Vetter Health’, the company offers all employees the opportunity to do something positive for themselves and incorporates their overall health,” added Soelkner. “In doing so, we also highlight those factors we consider to be the most important to our company’s success story, namely, the employees.”
