Corporate Responsibility

Our mission will always be delivering precision genetic medicines with urgency to patients, but we recognize opportunities to do our part in creating a healthy environment for patients, our people and communities. 

We have published an environmental, health and safety policy, linked under our corporate governance documents, and sponsor a number of green initiatives such as sustainable commuter benefits, recycling programs and green lab initiatives.

Please refer to our inaugural Corporate Responsibility Report for details about our latest “E” data, programs and initiatives.

Sarepta’s cultural values are the foundational behaviors that support the way we operate with the goal of bringing a better life to patients. At Sarepta, we value diverse and innovative self-starters who are committed to excellence and improving the lives of patients.

We are committed to ensuring our innovations reach as many patients as possible, as quickly as possible. We believe it is our responsibility to act as a true partner with patient communities, both in the near- and long-term.

Programs

SareptAssist is a patient support program designed to provide individuals with the information to navigate the process of starting and staying on therapy. This program is for individuals residing in the United States who are eligible for treatment with a Sarepta product.

SareptAlly is a global program designed to help patients, families, and physicians gain access to resources and information about Sarepta clinical trials and potential treatment options. 

Patient Voice

We work every day to ensure the patient voice is incorporated into our work. We have dedicated professionals who make up our global Patient Affairs team and we regularly engage with the patient community through informational webinars, awareness and fundraising events such as community walks/runs and through ongoing dialogue at advocacy and scientific conferences around the globe. We also frequently invite a patient or member of the community to speak and spend part of the day with us at our quarterly All Employee Meetings.

Scholarships and Grants

As described in our Report, we have a number of robust philanthropic initiatives, including a Grants & Donations program, Sponsorships, Fellowships, Investigator-Initiated Studies, and Medical Education Grants. 

As part of our commitment to equity, data integrity, and scientific leadership, Sarepta continues to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) for our employees and patient communities. We are working towards breaking the demographic, socio-economic, and geographical barriers to accessing scientific/educational information, participation in clinical trials, and treatment. Specific actions and accomplishments to date are described in our Report. 

At Sarepta, we strive to foster an environment where everyone can thrive.

Supporting and giving back to the communities in which we live and work are at the core of our values. Our initiatives are highlighted in our inaugural Report, including our support for local and patient communities and corporate sponsorships.

We are committed to our employees and believe in the importance of supporting them in all aspects of their lives. We aspire to maintain a culture of wellness and development through a variety of programs.

Compensation, Benefits and Ongoing Professional Development 

We understand that there is intense competition for qualified and specialized employees in our industry. To that end, we offer a comprehensive total rewards package that includes market competitive pay, broad-based equity grants and bonuses, healthcare benefits, retirement savings plans, paid time off and family leave, caregiving support, fitness subsidies, and an Employee Assistance Program. We also offer robust learning opportunities for employees at every stage in their career and provide annual training to employees on various topics.

Our employee training and ongoing education programs are described in more detail in our Report, which reflect our commitment to promoting a culture of continuous learning, growth and success. 

Sarepta’s Board of Directors appreciates that delivering on our mission over the long term involves corporate responsibility, including ESG. In furtherance of that belief, our Board works with our leadership team to oversee and execute Sarepta’s ESG initiatives and programs across the organization.

Integrity is a foundational element to Sarepta’s culture and business practices. Every employee is required to undergo regular compliance and ethics training courses.
