Responsible Business & Sustainability
Our Strategy
Our Responsible Business & Sustainability (RB&S) initiatives are built into our corporate strategy, helping us meet key business goals. They ensure operational resilience through sustainable practices and boost profitability by developing medicines in a more cost-effective way. By fostering an inclusive culture, we attract and keep top talent, bringing fresh ideas and driving innovation. RB&S is at the core of everything we do and centers on four focus areas:
“As a leading global oncology company with an ongoing mission to being a good corporate citizen, we know we must continue to do right not only by our patients, colleagues, and stakeholders, but also the communities in which we operate.”
