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 People and Culture: Developing our people and continually enhancing our strong culture so, together, we can deliver on AbbVie’s mission.

Business Sustainability: Taking steps to sustain AbbVie’s long-term growth – including managing our environmental impact.
