About GSK
We are a global science-led healthcare company. We research and develop a broad range of innovative products in three primary areas of Pharmaceuticals, Vaccines and Consumer Healthcare.
We have a significant global presence with commercial operations in more than 150 countries, a network of 87 manufacturing sites, and global R&D hubs in the UK, USA, Belgium, Italy and China.
The business is focused around the delivery of four strategic priorities which aim to increase growth, reduce risk, improve our long-term financial performance and operate responsibly. These priorities are: grow a balanced global business, deliver more products of value, simplify the operating model and be a responsible business.
Operating responsibly and ensuring our values are embedded in our culture and decision-making helps us better meet the expectations of society.

This frees up resources to reinvest elsewhere in the business, or return to shareholders wherever we see the most attractive returns.
Responsible business
Our aim
Being a responsible business is central to our strategy, and how we deliver success is just as important as what we achieve. Ensuring our values are embedded in our culture and decision-making helps us better meet the expectations of society.
