Alexion Mission

At Alexion, our mission is to transform the lives of people affected by rare diseases through the development and delivery of innovative medicines, as well as supportive technologies and healthcare services.

For over three decades, patients and their caregivers have been at the centre of everything we do. Everyday, we are inspired to think differently and follow the science in order to create better outcomes for them and their families. Our mission is driven by understanding who they are as unique individuals, not just their disease.

Alexion in Ireland

Ireland has always been an important location for Alexion, having been present there for over 10 years. It is a country we are proud to be associated with and is home to our global manufacturing operations facilities, and our global supply chain.

We employ over 1,000 people across our two state of the art manufacturing facilities in Dublin and Athlone. Our global supply chain works from Ireland to distribute our rare disease therapies throughout the world.

Due to the strategic importance of Ireland within the EU it is also home to multiple global teams which support our commercial and pipeline product lifecycle.

Sustainability

We are committed to sustainability in Ireland, for the local communities, and for our colleagues. We recognise the connection between a healthy planet and healthy people and are committed to proactively managing our environmental impact.

Across our sites we have invested in infrastructure projects utilising new technologies that help reduce water usage, and bring in sustainable heat and energy sources. We have also converted our road freight in Ireland and out across the EU to green fuels reducing our road freight carbon emissions by 90%. Additionally we work with local environment groups to support ecology projects across Ireland, recently launching a project to reintroduce Atlantic rain forests to the West Coast of Ireland. These investments will continue as we work towards our goal of being net zero by 2045.
