Who we are and what we do

At Roche, we believe in doing what should be done, rather than what has been done. So we follow where science leads. We focus on today and look beyond tomorrow to tackle the world’s most formidable healthcare challenges, hence our purpose ‘doing now what patients need next’.

Basel has been the headquarters of the Roche Group since our company was founded in 1896. Globally, we are active in more than one hundred countries today.

Listening and responding to the ever-changing needs of people around the world. We focus on the long-term, leading investment in research and development, striving to improve lives today and for generations to come.

We’re advancing science to ensure everyone has access to the healthcare they need.

We have been writing scientiﬁc history for 125 years and we are excited to continue delivering meaningful innovation today and in the future. But we can’t do it alone. To succeed we collaborate – with each other, with our partners, with governments, with patients.

Proud of what we do, we’re here because we care. That’s what makes us who we are. That’s what makes us Roche.
