Our people
Sustainability
Access to healthcare
Providing access to healthcare for all those who need it is a significant and complex global challenge. We are making it easier for people to afford our medicines, especially in emerging markets. We also focus on developing strong collaborations with a wide range of partners to strengthen healthcare capabilities, particularly in developing economies.
Environmental protection
As we push the boundaries of science and develop new medicines, we must conserve natural resources and ensure our products are safe at all stages in their life cycle. We strive to manage our environmental impacts across the entire value chain from research, development and production through patient use and final disposal.
