Environmental, social and governance

We're advancing environmental, social governance (ESG) initiatives that contribute to our sustainable growth, so that we can create a positive impact for generations to come.


Our leaders are stewards of our ESG mission, and our people are committed to ensuring our research, innovations and collaborations put impact for people, communities and our world first.

We innovate with integrity and intention to advance long-term patient health and business resiliency.  

Our Material Drivers

We periodically conduct materiality assessments to inform which ESG issues are most relevant to our business and our stakeholders.
