Sustainability

Environmental challenges are intensifying, reshaping our world, exacerbating certain diseases and worsening inequities in healthcare and access to quality medicines, with vulnerable communities being disproportionately affected.

We are committed to taking concrete actions to address the impact of environmental challenges on health and healthcare. By focusing on this intersection, we are uniting our sustainability efforts with a renewed focus on key areas for maximum impact:  building on our longstanding efforts towards sustainable and equitable access to healthcare, reducing the environmental impact of our products and activities across the value chain, and helping to transform the delivery of care to support the resilience of healthcare systems. Our goal is to build a healthier and more resilient world, for patients, the planet and society.

We are focused on improving and accelerating sustainable and equitable access to our medicines, vaccines and related care for underserved communities across  high-impact geographies. We are building comprehensive access to care programs particularly to tackle diseases worsened by environmental challenges for sustainable impact.

We’re contributing to the delivery of care transformation through collective efforts that reduce healthcare systems’ environmental footprints and improve their resilience. That means using data to support decarbonization of the health care pathway in ways that also better address patients’ needs.
