Dr Aline Gégout is Global Head of Operations and Quality at Roche Diabetes Care. After starting with the company in 2009, she has held multiple leadership positions, including leader of a chemical production in Germany, matrix leader in a global environment for different business units, and as Head of Operations in a diagnostics business area before accepting her current role in Diabetes Care in 2021.

World Environment Day is a chance for each of us to reflect on how we can do our jobs to the best of our ability while also reducing environmental pollution. As part of the diabetes management industry – where safety and hygiene requirements mean that many products used in daily care, like needles and blood sugar test strips, can only be used once – there aren’t any easy answers. But for me, it’s personal to protect nature, and so this means being creative, collaborative and forward-looking.
