As a purpose-driven company, how we deliver enduring impact is embedded in our business strategy through execution of our ESG strategy, which frames our ambitions, informs our operations and creates accountability for our vision of the future. At the most senior level, our Board of Directors oversees the Executive Committee’s implementation of our ESG strategy to promote responsible business practices through a culture of integrity and accountable leadership across our Company. 

We focus our efforts on the areas where we are uniquely positioned to achieve the greatest impact – championing global health equity, empowering our employees and advancing environmental health. Leading with accountability and innovation is foundational to these efforts and essential to achieving Our Purpose, creating a virtuous circle that creates economic, environmental and social value for all those we serve. We create long-term value by helping to achieve better health outcomes for patients and healthcare providers, foster rewarding opportunities for our employees and suppliers, protect and strengthen the communities in which we live and work, and provide profitable, sustainable growth for investors.
