Our Approach


At hVIVO, we play an important role in improving global health by supporting the clinical development of medicinal products. As a growing organisation, we recognise the importance of continually improving our governance and prioritising social and environmental values in all our work.

We are committed to operating as a responsible business; and as part of this commitment, we are working hard to continuously improve our environmental, social and governance protocols and policies. hVIVO has established a cross business working group, called the ESG Group, which focuses on identifying risks and opportunities related to climate change and other social and governance topics. The ESG Group is led by our CEO, Yamin ‘Mo’ Khan, and includes cross-company representatives, ensuring a well-rounded and integrated approach to ESG matters, with support from CBRE’s sustainability team. The ESG Group reports directly to the Audit and Risk Committee which is responsible for overseeing the Company’s ESG reporting and providing recommendations to the Board for final review and endorsement.
