Responsibility
How Pharmaceutical conducts its business is equally as important as the work it does on a daily basis. Lilly's core values - integrity, excellence and respect for people - are reflected in business practices that include strong governance principles, the ethical development of medicines, transparency and ethical product promotion.
History of Responsibility
For more than 85 years, Pharmaceutical has demonstrated a commitment to be a responsible global citizen - in large part, through a long history of philanthropic contributions. Our greatest contribution to society, however, is to continue to discover and develop innovative medicines which will ultimately help us realize our vision to make a significant contribution to humanity by improving global health in the 21st century.
Our Approach
We believe that Pharmaceutical can help solve today's social problems by finding intersections between what society needs and what we do best. It has always been the way we do business, and it always will be.
Commitment
As a member of today’s rapidly changing global community, we are striving to adapt to the evolving needs of society and contribute to the overall health and wellness of our world. We are continually reviewing and improving our efforts to lessen our impact on the environment, nurture a workplace of diversity and inclusion, conduct responsible business practices, and uphold the highest ethical standards in everything from research and development to sales and marketing. And, we are building partnerships in communities throughout the world to strengthen health systems, increase access to our medicines and find sustainable solutions to the health challenges of today, and tomorrow.
Responsibility Report
This is Pharmaceutical's first fully integrated Annual Review, providing a larger look at a number of dimensions of our performance-financial, environmental and social-in one review. It demonstrates the integral relationship between our responsibilities as an enterprise, and our core business strategies and their execution. It is produced for all of our stakeholders-patients, the medical community, investors, employees, customers and the public at large—to give a single picture of how we are doing, and, more importantly, how we are doing in delivering on our stated commitments.
