“At AstraZeneca we are committed to operating as a responsible and ethical business. This report will help our stakeholders understand how we conduct our business in an effort to make a meaningful difference to patient health.”
- Rich Fante, US President
AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP
AstraZeneca is one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies, and at the heart of our business lies a single purpose: making a difference in people’s health through meaningful medicines. Having a pipeline of such medicines is the most important contribution we can make to public health. But we also challenge ourselves by asking every day: What more can a pharmaceutical company do to improve healthcare and society at large? While we do not have all of the answers, we do know that how we act, and treat people, is as important as the medicines we make.
This section describes some of the highlights of our commitment to responsible business.
In this section:
- Responsible business, healthier company: Advancing patient health through responsible and ethical business practices
- Responsible business, healthier people: Helping people stay healthy and live longer lives
- Responsible business, healthier communities: Providing assistance to the communities where we live and work
- Responsible business, healthier environment: Being a good steward of the environment today and tomorrow
- Corporate transparency: Learn how we believe that providing information to the public about our company, our medicines and how we do business serves the best interests of patients
More detailed information on these issues is provided in the AstraZeneca 2008 US Responsible Business Report.
