A unique shareholding structure

Pierre Fabre Laboratories has a unique shareholding structure that sets it apart: its only shareholders are the Foundation of the same name - a government-recognized public-interest foundation - and its employees, with the Foundation owning by far the largest stake (86.3%). That original model guarantees the company’s independence and fosters a long-term approach, for the benefit of patients, employees, and all stakeholders. Further, the dividends paid out by the company are used to finance the humanitarian projects run by Fondation Pierre Fabre.

Updated in March 2026

Employees own 9.8% of the share capital through an employee stock ownership scheme called Ruscus. The scheme, which started in France in 2005 and now includes fourteen other countries, gives employees the chance to acquire a stake in the company’s growth and share in its success. 81% of eligible employees are shareholders, proof of their confidence in the strategy and success of Pierre Fabre Laboratories.

Employee stock ownership is a way of ensuring that the value created by each person’s hard work is fairly distributed. The fact that so many company employees have joined the Ruscus scheme illustrates their confidence in the company’s governance and strategy.

Commitment: Ethics and Integrity

A founding requirement, defended at the highest level of the company.
An extension of the humanist values of our founder, ethics is inseparable from the core identity of Pierre Fabre Laboratories. It guides decisions and conduct across the entire business, as committed healthcare stakeholders, responsible employees, and a civic-minded company.

Defended by the Executive Committee, our ethics and integrity commitments are based on a structured system, run by the Ethics and Compliance Department. It is an essential driver of long-term trust that consolidates our relations with all stakeholders of Pierre Fabre Laboratories.

The Pierre Fabre Laboratories Code of Ethics is the baseline document for our Ethics and Compliance policy. Among other things, it helps every employee adopt responsible behaviors that are perfectly aligned with the Group’s values and purpose.

Guidelines: Ethics and Compliance

Shared principles and clear rules that guide our behavior.
The principles set out in the Code of Ethics are reiterated in the form of specific codes and policies, which specify how they should be applied in different activities, business lines, and operational contexts.

These documents provide concrete guidelines for everyday practices, and guarantee that ethics and compliance requirements are applied consistently both within the Group and in its relations with stakeholders.

A special channel, which is separate from the Speak Up reporting system, is available if you have questions or need advice on how to apply these principles: group.compliance@pierre-fabre.com

Reporting: Speak Up

A secure reporting system you can trust.
As part of its commitment to integrity and transparency, the Group has set up a confidential, secure reporting system for all employees and external stakeholders.

Anyone who reports an unethical situation in good faith will be fully protected against any form of reprisal.
