🧠 Globally, over 12.2 million people experience a stroke each year, and according to the World Stroke Organization, 1 in 4 people over age 25 will have a stroke in their lifetime. A stroke can affect anyone, at any age – in fact, 38 % of people hospitalized for stroke are under 65. Knowing its symptoms can save lives, as every minute counts during a stroke. The sooner a patient receives medical care, the better the chances and prognosis for their future life. ℹ️ If you notice someone suddenly experiencing weakness in the face, arm, or leg, usually on one side of the body, it could be a stroke. Other symptoms include difficulty speaking, vision problems, dizziness, loss of balance, or coordination issues. If you suspect a stroke, call emergency services immediately 🚑. Just remember the “BE FAST” rule and you can save someone’s life! #StrokeAwareness #Health #Prevention #Wellness #Healthcare 

At Zentiva, we care about our planet! 🌍 As part of our Sustainability Strategy, among other things, we focus on restoring #biodiversity by tree planting and #reforestation. Acting as natural carbon sinks, absorbing greenhouse gases and helping combat climate change, forests cover over 30% of the planet’s land surface and are vital for the survival and wellbeing of humans and biodiversity. That is why our goal is to plant a total of 1,000,000 trees by 2030🌲. During the last few weeks, teams from the Czech Republic, UK, and Romania went out and moved our tree planting activities for 2024 into the final run, with France closing in November. We cannot wait to have another 100,000 trees planted this year 💚. A big thank you to all our Zentiva squads this year from the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, France, UK, and India that are helping us contribute to reforestation. Together we are making a difference 🤝!     #Sustainability #WinningTeam #TreePlanting #TeamBuilding #WeCare  _ _ _  📷 pictures from Romania, credit: Dan Dinu, Foundation Conservation CARPATHIA

At Zentiva, fighting against climate change is always on our minds. We believe that every small step counts in working towards a greener and more sustainable future for all. As proud members of the UN Global Compact, we integrate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into every aspect of our strategy and operations, framing our sustainability goals and activities around 3 pillars: People, Partners and Planet.     While we are constantly reminded of the urgency to accelerate our efforts towards a sustainable future and pick up momentum, we also understand that embedding sustainable practices into our daily lives can be challenging.     That’s why we invest our efforts into empowering our team with the knowledge and tools needed to overcome these challenges. We run an internal weekly sustainability blog, for example, and we have a pop-up sustainability exhibition visiting our affiliates. However, the biggest upcoming event for us is a company-wide training program designed to introduce people to the concept of sustainability and make all of us aware of the impact we have on society and on the environment.    Let’s take this UN Day as an opportunity to learn, grow, and take meaningful action today for a sustainable tomorrow. Only together can we make a difference 💪🌱.      #UNDay #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Zentiva #SustainableDevelopment

🔬 For its second edition, Zentiva hosted the annual Science Day at its Prague HQs, Prague is the seat of the Global Development Centre, which, in addition to generic innovations, is also active in training professionals for our industry. Partnering with universities, we run a PhD course at a virtual university called The Parc , translating academic education into practical industry experience.    During Science Day, we also share the results and achievements of our students with our employees, showing them what our research is about and how it is practically applied to our work and products. Together with the team of R&D, the students from The Parc presented their current projects to other colleagues from different departments. On the menu were things like a medicine dosing bot, the use of #AI in development of medicines or the so-called "drug repurposing".     This is our way of staying ahead of the pharma game!    #Science #PhdResearch #Innovation #Zentiva #TheParc

This time, our quarterly web stream with the CEO connected from the UK. Besides the update on Performance, Strategy and People topics, Sophie Quin, Country Manager at #ZentivaUK, introduced us to the market dynamics and our game plan.   🩷 And since we never miss out on the opportunity to participate in #PinkOctober to raise breast cancer awareness, we wore pink and encouraged our employees to prioritize self-care and pay attention to prevention. Zentiva supports breast cancer patients across Europe by providing essential medications from our extensive oncology portfolio, which then play a crucial role in addressing all stages of the disease. We are dedicated to leaving a mark in the battle against cancer, expanding the portfolio to make cancer treatment accessible to a wider range of patients who depend on them every day. Next year, a range of molecules will be launched in the oncology area. Accounting for 12.5 % of all new annual cancer cases globally, breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide. Early diagnosis is thus crucial for successful treatment. We urge everyone to never underestimate preventive measures and take steps to make a regular habit of checkups. Cancer can hit anyone, anywhere. #BreastCancerAwareness #WeCare #ZentivaConnects

ℹ️ Did you know that 40 % of the food produced globally goes to waste? That’s a staggering 2.5 billion tons of food every year! This equates to 8️⃣0️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ kilograms of food being wasted, every single second⏱️! At the same time, over 2.8 billion people are unable to afford a healthy diet, leading to malnutrition and obesity across socio-economic classes.      🥘Every bit of food saved can make a significant impact on our planet and communities. By reducing food waste, you can help ensure more people have access to nutritious food and support a healthier, more sustainable world – the thing with food waste is that it also causes 10 % of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.    💡 Here are some simple tips to reduce food waste: ✅ Plan your meals: make a shopping list and stick to it. Do not shy away from using smart technologies to adopt shopping habits.  ✅ Store food properly: keep fruits and vegetables fresh for longer.  ✅ Do not be afraid to pick up wonky, imperfect-looking vegetables and fruits.  ✅ Get creative with leftovers: turn yesterday’s dinner into today’s lunch.  ✅ Donate surplus food: help those in need by sharing what you can’t use.    Let’s work together to make a difference, start saving food today! 🌱✨ #WorldFoodDay #ReduceFoodWaste #Sustainability #ZentivaCares

Our Corporate Affairs Manager, Tomas Pala, spoke about “Solutions to Sustainable Manufacturing with a Focus on Green Facilities and Chemistry” at the Sustainable Futures Theatre. He highlighted the commitment of Zentiva and the wider generics industry to the environment. At the same time, it needs to be pointed out, that the systemic framework that the industry is operating needs to be adjusted and some counterproductive EU laws that are coming up, like the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, undermining our efforts to combine environment and access to medicine.   If you want to learn more, stop by our stand at #CPHI stand📍10C17, Hall 10.
