Our business - the discovery of innovative drugs and their development for use by the worldwide healthcare community - is a long-term undertaking marked by challenges that are scientific, human, industrial, and financial.
To meet these challenges, all our activities are informed by three fundamental objectives:

* First, to satisfy the needs of our prescribers and their patients, the end-users of our products;
* Second - a barely less fundamental objective - to advance research: Servier belongs as much to the research community as to industry;
* Third - a key objective too often forgotten in today's world - to promote a company environment and culture that maximizes the potential of everyone working within it.

We view this as an end in itself, not just as the key to a successful company.
