Our key issues

Our CR reporting is focused on the most material (significant and relevant) issues for our business.

The following factors influence our materiality assessment:

• Our business strategy
• Our risk management processes.
• Stakeholder interest, including investor feedback
• Changes in our business and operations, for example the types of product we produce or the locations in which we operate.
• Existing and proposed legislation
• Public opinion and press coverage

We have identified the following responsibility issues as most material to GSK:

• The contribution our core business makes to health through research, development, manufacture and the sale of medicines and vaccines
• Increasing access to medicines in under-served communities
• Ethical standards in research and development, and sales and marketing
• Our environmental impact, particularly climate change
