Other Considerations
In addition to the disclosure of material topics in our Sustainability Statement, we have included the following select voluntary disclosures. These are other topics that argenx chooses to disclose and are topics that have not been deemed material as part of our ESRS materiality assessment process.
Animal Welfare Policy
We have an Animal Welfare Policy that provides guidance and defines key principles (replace, reduce, and refine) aimed at promoting and safeguarding the welfare of animals used in research by or on behalf of argenx. The policy is assigned as a read and acknowledges requirements for all employees.
Employee Health and Safety
Although we do not have a formal workplace accident prevention policy, we have implemented processes to prevent work-related accidents. In our labs, we train and educate employees on safe chemical handling, waste management, and biosafety practices. In 2024, we reported no fatalities due to work-related injuries and one recordable work-related accident. We do not track or record cases of work-related ill health among employees or non-employees.
