Corporate Social Responsibility
We go beyond our treatments to support and champion our teams, our patients and our communities, to build a better world.
We go beyond our treatments to support and champion our teams, our patients and our communities, to build a better world.
Our mission goes beyond science. While our passion is advancing care for people with neurological disorders and rare diseases, we are equally committed to doing so sustainably and ethically. For us, it’s not just talk—it’s action.
Our patients trust us to deliver products that are both safe and effective. We’re creating and refining infrastructures with the help of a dedicated team to manufacture innovative medicines.
Patients can’t benefit from what they don’t have access to. We support them by making sure they have access to resources through a safe, professional network.
Acadians give back in many ways, from local volunteer efforts to global advocacy partnerships. Our teams dedicate time and energy to service projects that support families, strengthen neighborhoods, and protect the environment.
Just as importantly, we partner with organizations that share our mission to improve life for patients and caregivers. This commitment reflects our belief that meaningful innovation extends beyond medicine and into the communities where we live and work. We are proud to support leading organizations such as the Caregiver Action Network, International Rett Syndrome Foundation, Parkinson’s Foundation, and the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
We minimize our carbon footprint in two key ways: our physical buildings and manufacturing process. Both of our physical buildings limit their carbon footprint, and our San Diego building is Gold Level LEED certified.
In our manufacturing process, our chemists are committed to “green chemistry,” increasing efficiencies, reducing materials and minimizing waste. We continue to evolve our efforts, aiming for a long-term, sustainable future.
We believe that strong corporate governance principles lead to a culture of high standards. To reinforce these principles, Acadia’s Compliance Program and Code of Conduct serve as guidelines and support for all employees in their pursuit of excellence.
Our Compliance Program prevents violations of company policy, applicable laws and regulations. Acadians are encouraged to report potential issues, and reports are thoroughly investigated, then followed by further action if necessary. This system helps ensure that our medicines can be promoted to healthcare providers in good faith.
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (Code of Conduct) applies to all employees, officers and directors of the company. We encourage all who are interested to review our Code of Conduct and other important corporate governance documents.
Patients make our clinical trials possible. We prioritize their safety, confidentiality and privacy by ensuring our clinical trials are rigorous and comply with local laws and regulations. We believe diverse representation in clinical trials is crucial for bringing innovative medicines to market and achieving equitable healthcare.
