Environment

Climate change and nature loss are changing the spread and burden of disease and pose a threat to human health, putting increasing pressure on healthcare systems. Improving the environmental sustainability of our products and business helps meet customer demand and ensure a more resilient supply chain, so we can deliver the medicines and vaccines that patients rely on.  

This is why we’ve set environmental goals for 2030 and 2045 across our value chain. Working to meet these goals reduces our impact on the planet and supports our long-term performance, helping us to adapt to anticipated changes in regulation and meet growing demand for medicines with a lower environmental impact. 

Our success in pursuing our goals depends on innovation and collaboration. Innovative science and technology can help lower our products’ impact on climate and nature across their lifecycle. This supports healthcare systems and governments in meeting their own environmental goals. Collaboration with patients, suppliers, regulators and peers underpins everything we do in pursuit of our environmental goals.
