Vytrus Biotech, member of CataloniaBio & HealthTech, has joined the Manifesto for an Economy with Purpose promoted by the organisation Respon.cat in view of the new role of companies as transforming agents and drivers of change in society and the world. 

The manifesto involves developing the company's purpose before 2025 with a triple social, economic and environmental impact, and making a strategic plan to be implemented by Vytrus before 2030 to generate positive impact. 

Signed by more than 200 companies including HP, Damm, Unilever, Oracle, Martiderm and Vytrus Biotech itself, this manifesto elevates the business fabric as a key part of the solution to the challenges of the new economy. A manifesto that counts on entities such as the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, PIMEC (employers association of Catalan SMEs) and CECOT (multi-sector business confederation) as promoter organisations. 

According to Òscar Expósito, CEO, co-founder and CSO of Vytrus: "We are currently facing a paradigm shift in which companies are the engine of change for society and the preservation of the planet. Assuming a social role beyond the economic and business aspects is important to face the challenges of the future, and this means defining where each company can have a positive impact, while ensuring the viability of the business activity".    

By adhering to this manifesto, Vytrus makes a firm commitment to its purpose and goes a step further in the deployment of its Corporate Social Responsibility. This purpose is publicly accessible on this link.
