Responsibility
Responsible business
We are guided by our purpose to unite science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together. We deliver this purpose considering the social, environmental and governance impacts across everything we do, from the lab to the patient.
Our approach to being a responsible company
We know that we need to get ahead of disease in the right way. This means being conscious of how we do things and the impact we have on the world around us - however big or small - while we strive to maximize the impact of the products we provide.
Central to our purpose is a defining measure of delivering health impact at scale. Our plan shows that we can positively impact the health of 2.5 billion people worldwide by the end of the decade. Acting as a responsible business by considering our social, environmental and governance therefore supports sustainable performance and long-term growth; builds trust with all our stakeholders; reduces risk to our operations and enables delivery of positive social impact.
Our six areas of focus
We’ve identified six areas of responsible business that matter most to us: access; global health and health security; environment; inclusion; ethical standards and product governance.
