Recognising the strong connection between business growth and resilience, and the need to address the major health challenges of our time, our approach to Sustainability focuses on how we make a sustainable impact and how we do business:
Through the power of science and innovation, we are taking action on climate and nature, health equity and health systems resilience. We collaborate with governments, health systems, patient groups, academia and NGOs to focus our shared efforts where we can have the greatest impact — on local, regional and global health.
We are guided by our Values and invest in our people to create long-term value, resilience and trust by operating responsibly, ethically and with robust governance.
As a global, science-led, patient-focused pharmaceutical company, we are transforming the future of healthcare by unlocking the power of what science can do for people, society and the planet.
We’re reducing greenhouse gas emissions to decarbonise our operations and value chain, while advancing sustainable patient care. We're also actively managing our dependencies and impact on nature, recognising that it is fundamental to our wellbeing and to the discovery, development, and manufacture of medicines.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to access quality and timely healthcare, yet it remains out of reach for too many people worldwide. Health outcomes are shaped by multiple, intersecting factors including social, environmental and genetic determinants, that amplify inequities. Our vision is to improve health equity across all healthcare systems and income levels.
Ageing populations, a surge in chronic and non-communicable diseases, under-investment in healthcare and the climate crisis are all straining health systems globally. We're co-creating solutions that slow disease progression, reduce hospital admissions and prevent premature deaths, all while helping healthcare professionals deliver more sustainable care.
Our Values determine how we work together and the behaviours that drive our success. They guide our decision-making and define our beliefs.
Being purposeful about people, we aim to deliver great employee experiences by being champions of inclusion and diversity while fostering personal growth and enterprise leadership.
By embedding ethical behaviour and transparent policies throughout our company activities and value chain, we strive to deliver positive impact that builds on the direct benefits of our life-changing medicines.
We’re focused on taking bold action on climate and nature to support the health of our planet; closing healthcare gaps and improving health equity; and strengthening Health systems resilience to meet current and future health needs.
