Why is sustainability important to us?

As a leading healthcare company, we help millions of people and animals around the globe to live healthier, longer lives. We work towards becoming more sustainable every day—knowing that we can always do more to tackle sustainability challenges.


Patients

We put patients first in everything we do. Our ambition is to develop better therapies and solutions and address global healthcare challenges.

Animals

Animals enrich our lives and are part of healthy ecosystems. Our products improve their health and quality of life, while also supporting a sustainable food supply.

Communities & our People

Communities thrive when healthcare is accessible to all. We build on a culture that enables our people to realize their full potential and make an impact.

Planet

We work towards reducing our environmental footprint every day. Since a healthy planet is essential for the health of people, animals and communities.

What are we doing?

Our sustainability strategy, “Sustainable Development for Generations”, focuses on health for humans, animals, our employees and communities and the planet. Our 2030 commitments are in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement.

Our ultimate goal is to create social impact for the entire population—capable of serving as many patients as possible. To achieve this, we address healthcare and wellbeing across the entire patient continuum of care: from pharmaceutical innovation over prevention and healthcare delivery to tackling access.

Through nine programs, we focus on innovation, integrating sustainability along our value chain and fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration.
