Environmental Sustainability - affiliate modify

Making medicines requires the use of valuable resources including energy, water and raw materials. We’re committed to continually improving our environmental impact across our product life cycles and supply chain. 

As our product portfolio evolves, we find new and better ways to minimize our environmental footprint. This ensures that our operations are safe for our employees and the communities where we operate. 

We set and measure challenging environmental goals to drive performance.
