Today, Laboratorios Farmacéuticos Rovi, S.A. held its Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, at which the year 2021, marked by the company’s historic growth, was evaluated. ROVI achieved a 54% increase in its operating revenue. This increase was principally driven by the strength of the contract manufacturing business, which grew by 189%, and the specialty pharmaceutical business, whose sales rose 17%. “The year 2021 was historic for our company, which reaffirmed its original commitment to global health,” said Mr Juan López-Belmonte Encina, ROVI’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
In his speech, he highlighted the value of the achievements reached in the year, which positioned ROVI as “one of the companies with the greatest knowledge in the low-molecular-heparin field and able to aspire to expand its global presence over the years to come.” Furthermore, in 2021, “ROVI continued to be the leader in specialty pharmaceuticals in Spain, while, as a result of the agreements with Modena, the contract manufacturing business gained a large amount of public visibility, confirming what we had always known: it is a strong driver that will help the company to grow in future years.”
The Chairman and CEO also highlighted “the work and commitment of the group’s employees overall” in reaching milestones that were important to ROVI in the year, such as achieving carbon neutrality for the second consecutive year or obtaining the second best score in the ESG ranking drawn up by the company Sustainalytics.
The Deputy Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, Javier López-Belmonte, provided an update on the R&D strategy of the company, “which is entering into a wonderful new phase after receiving the marketing approval for Europe of our first ISM®-technology-based drug.” He said that “our first large project with this technology, which was patented by ROVI, is a product for schizophrenia, a disease that affects over 21 million people worldwide” and added that “the application for marketing authorisation for Risperidone ISM® in the United States is awaiting the response of the United States regulatory authority.”
At ROVI we work every day to protect our most precious treasure, the environment. That’s why, coinciding with the celebration of World Environment Day, we would like to bring you one of the goals we are most proud of achieving year after year:
Achieving carbon neutrality
Do you want to know how this is possible? Find out why at ROVI we are GREEN
Do you know your carbon footprint?
Every time we travel by car, print a document or use a computer at work we leave behind a trail of gases that accumulate and accelerate climate change. This trail is the carbon footprint.
The carbon footprint is much more present than we think in our daily lives. That’s why we want to tell you how we work at ROVI and how you can help us.
The Manantial Foundation has held the 11th edition of the Miradas Award, which recognises the work of organisations and individuals who help to reduce stigma, create employment or improve the care and quality of life of people with mental health problems. In this regard, it has recognised Laboratorios ROVI with its Solidarity Seal, a distinction for companies that are committed to inclusion in the workplace by incorporating people with mental health diagnoses into their workforces.
Javier Angulo, Director of Human Resources at ROVI, emphasises that “ROVI is committed to the integration of people with disabilities or stigmatised groups, such as people with mental illnesses, into the workplace. For the past four years, ROVI and Fundación Manantial have been cooperating in the search for candidates to fill jobs at our plants in Alcalá, San Sebastián de los Reyes and Julián Camarillo, and the experience has been very positive”.
The Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, José Luis Escrivá, was in charge of presenting the Solidarity Seals to the companies. In addition, the presenter, monologuist, scriptwriter, actor and streamer Ángel Martín was awarded the Miradas de Fundación Manantial Prize for his work in information and social awareness through the publication of his book and podcast Por si las voces vuelven.
