Our culture and values
We share one vision and one mission: to save and improve lives.
It all comes back to inventing for life
We are all inventors here, no matter the role or title. We rise to any challenge in pursuit of better health outcomes.
Everything we do, in and out of the laboratory, is based on our deep appreciation for life. That’s the reason we come together across the business with one goal – to invent for life.
Patients first
We are all accountable for delivering high quality products and services. We aspire to improve the health and wellness of people and animals worldwide and to expand access to our medicines and vaccines. All of our actions must be measured against our responsibility to those who use or need our products.
Respect for people
Our ability to excel depends on the integrity, knowledge, imagination, skill, diversity, safety and teamwork of our employees. To this end, we work to create an environment of mutual respect, inclusion and accountability. We reward commitment and performance and are responsive to the needs of our employees and their families.
Ethics and integrity
We are committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity. We are responsible to our customers, to our competitors, to distributors and suppliers, to shareholders and to the communities we serve worldwide. In discharging our responsibilities, we do not take professional or ethical shortcuts. Our interactions with all segments of society must be transparent and reflect these high standards.
Innovation and scientific excellence
We are dedicated to innovation and scientific excellence. Our research is guided by a commitment to improving health and the quality of life. We strive to identify the most critical needs of patients and customers, and through continuous innovation we challenge ourselves to meet those needs.
Code of conduct & compliance
We represent many cultures but are united in our drive to deliver breakthrough medicines with honesty and integrity.
