Looking back last year, AbbVie Ireland was named both Pharma Company of the Year – Large and Biopharma Company of the Year at the Pharma Industry Awards 2025, recognised for its outstanding commitment to innovation, sustainability, and workforce development across its five Irish sites.

Employing approximately 2,900 people, AbbVie leverages its expertise and dedicated teams to drive transformative treatments across therapeutic areas including immunology, oncology, virology, aesthetics, neuroscience, and eyecare. Its holistic approach combines scientific innovation with operational excellence, digital transformation, and continuous improvement initiatives that benefit both patients and the broader healthcare ecosystem.

“AbbVie delivers a masterclass in long-term, innovation-led growth in Ireland. Its sustainability achievements—including major CO₂ reductions and the prestigious My Green Lab accreditation—demonstrate true environmental leadership. Combined with community engagement, employee development, and digital transformation, this organisation sets a global benchmark for operational and scientific excellence,” the panel noted.

AbbVie Ireland’s dual recognition reflects rising standards across the Pharma Industry Awards, where winners increasingly demonstrate measurable results in innovation, sustainability, and workforce engagement. The company’s success illustrates how a forward-thinking, people-centric culture can drive operational excellence while making a meaningful impact on patients, communities, and the sector at large.

With momentum from the 2025 winners, attention now turns to the next wave of awards cycle. Who will rise to continue shaping Ireland’s pharmaceutical landscape and set the next benchmark for operational, scientific, and environmental leadership this 2026?

The Pharma Industry Awards convene senior executives, innovators, and key decision-makers to celebrate transformative achievements across the life sciences sector annually.
