Corporate responsibility

Corporate Responsibility

Our commitment to consumer healthcare is matched by our corporate responsibility. We take it very seriously and contribute to a number of community initiatives.

The Key Foundation

Our commitment to philanthropy

The Key Foundation is a private charitable trust established by the Directors of Key Pharmaceuticals in 2002.

Each year since its establishment, Key Pharmaceuticals has committed a share of its profits to the Key Foundation and to date, well over $5 million has been distributed to a variety of charitable causes.

The beneficiaries have been principally in the areas of disadvantaged youth support (Mission Australia’s Triple Care Farm) and medical research (Lifehouse at RPA and Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute). Others have included educational and arts initiatives, as well as asylum seeker support.

The company is seriously committed to philanthropy and its ongoing support of charitable organisations that deliver positive impactful outcomes in people’s lives.

Environmental Responsibility

Our commitment to managing the environmental impacts of our activities

Key Pharmaceuticals is a signatory to the Australian Packaging Covenant (APC). We are genuinely committed to the Covenant’s goals and targets, and to making a difference to reducing the harmful impact of packaging on the environment.

We take actions to make our consumer goods packaging more recyclable to help reduce the amount of waste that goes into landfill. Where possible, we also try to influence consumer disposal behaviour of our goods through on-pack recyclable labelling enhancements. Reducing our company’s carbon footprint and finding innovative ways to optimise our business activities to reduce our environmental impact via recycling and litter management is something we are committed to.

Community Engagement

Our commitment to the community
In addition to supplying financial support in partnership with proven social organisation via our Key Foundation, we encourage and create opportunities for our employees to volunteer their time to support local communities. All employees are invited to participate in regular charity day events organised by the company. Most recently, Key Pharmaceuticals participated in a corporate cooking challenge with OzHarvest called ‘Cooking for a cause’.
