Corporate responsibility

Being a responsible business means operating in a way that reflects our values, treating our stakeholders (employees, shareholders, patients and doctors, Governments and NGOs) with respect and connecting our business decisions to society’s healthcare needs.

Our business makes a valuable contribution to society. However, we know that the research and development, manufacture and sale of our medicines, vaccines and consumer products raise ethical issues, and we aim to be open and transparent about how we tackle them. We seek to minimise the negative impacts and maximise the benefits of our business, and our approach is guided by our Corporate Responsibility Principles.

Our corporate responsibility principles cover:

• Employment practices
• Human rights
• Access to medicines
• Leadership and advocacy
• Community investment
• Engagement with stakeholders
• Standards of ethical conduct
• Research and innovation
• Products and customers
• Caring for the environment
