At Eczacıbaşı, innovation is based on our core values that brought us to where we are today and our shared belief in a better future. With its beginnings in the early 1900s at Şifa Pharmacy, our innovation journey continues today with the same curiosity, care and courage that marked those days, and an ever-growing sense of responsibility for the creation of a better future. At Eczacıbaşı, innovation is focused on creating “new solutions that transform lifestyle habits for the good of all.”
Our Innovation Approach
Creating accessible and transformative solutions to improve the lives of all stakeholders through social sensitivity, a people-focused approach and entrepreneurial confidence.
Becoming aware that new ideas originate from new questions and listening with an open mind; avoiding making assumptions and discovering new perspectives.
Looking beyond solutions to expand our creative horizons, focusing on the inherent causes of problems and relying on creativity to unmask them.
Always acting in collaborative unity, bringing together stakeholders, different areas of expertise and lines of approach.
Attaching equal importance to processes and results and generating a comfort zone within the ambiguity that sometimes defines the innovation journey.
