Environmental, Social & Governance

We’re advancing ESG initiatives that contribute to our sustainable growth, so that we can create a positive impact for generations to come.


Our leaders are stewards of our environmental, social and governance (ESG) mission, and our people are committed to ensuring our research, innovations and collaborations put impact for people, communities and our world first.

OUR APPROACH

Our ESG framework is built around three foundational pillars

We see our framework as an opportunity to apply the same rigor, curiosity and focus on science-based solutions to how we sustainably maintain and grow our business.

We discover and deliver innovative medicines that solve serious health issues.

We unlock the full potential of our diverse and talented teams and partners to deliver today and into the future.

We innovate with integrity and intention to advance long-term patient health and business resiliency.
