Sustainability

We believe there is a strong connection between the health of our patients, our business, our workforce, our communities and the planet, and each of these impact one another.

Healthy people

Healthy planet

Healthy business

We realize that this is how we will continue to transform the lives of millions of patients around the world while generating value for our employees, our communities and the environment. In our complex world, a siloed approach to sustainability is no longer an option. We see partnerships and transparency as enablers of a sustainable future. AstraZeneca’s approach includes becoming more transparent to support responsible, ethical management across the value chain, performance measurement, and knowledge sharing for our sector. On our sustainability journey, we aim to reduce our negative impacts and benefit society, the environment and our business.

Access to health care at AstraZeneca goes beyond our medicines. We provide solutions to improve health, from prevention and awareness, diagnosis and treatment, to aftercare. We work in our main therapeutic areas to address noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) for patients with unmet needs.

Climate change is now a climate crisis. It is affecting health and the biosphere more and more severely. Now is the time to act. We work to foster environments in which any life can thrive, seeking opportunities for environmental management and mitigation of climate impact through natural resource management.

Our approach goes beyond policy and compliance: we want to empower our employees to use their judgment to do the right ones. We adopt an ethical attitude from the way we treat our employees and patients, to our emphasis on human rights and equality and our agreements with our suppliers. Our values, including putting patients first and doing the right thing, serve as a guide in our interactions.

At AstraZeneca, health is not only our axis of work, but also our contribution to society. The way we operate promotes sustainable health ecosystems that benefit both people and the planet through science-based innovation.

Our sustainability strategy revolves around three pillars that place health at the center of our work, starting with access to health care. As a global company, we want to make use of our reach, knowledge and experience to achieve real change in 16 sustainability issues.
