Corporate Social Responsibility

In France at Cencora, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is not simply a concept, nor even an option — it is the central pillar of the mission that drives us every day: we are all united and committed to creating a healthier future. A noble mission that resonates across all the companies and countries that make up our global Cencora group.

Integrated as an essential element of our 2025–2030 strategic plan, our CSR commitment is aligned with Cencora's three priorities:

  • Mission-driven teams
  • Resilient and sustainable operations
  • Health and well-being for all

Our CSR actions are built on three key levers:

  • Raise awareness to encourage awareness and responsible behaviors among our employees and clients.
  • Measure our progress and communicate it transparently.
  • Act through the three Cencora priorities mentioned above.

Aware of our role in Society and proud of our mission, our objective is to position Cencora in France as an active and leading player in the field of CSR. By collaborating with our clients, our partners, our suppliers and our teams, and by committing together, we can strengthen our collective impact.
