# Sustainable Development –  For Generations

At Boehringer Ingelheim, “Sustainable Development – For Generations” is about a journey. One that started in 1885 and one that we hope, and believe, will never end.  Because Boehringer Ingelheim will always strive to be better: develop better therapies, enable better health care solutions and contribute to a better world. Not just now or for the next generation, but for all generations to come. Because being a family business is about family. And we consider our employees, patients, communities and business partners all to be part of that family.
