We support public policies that advance the interests of patients, improve public health and promote access to medicines and innovation.

We work to achieve our business objectives responsibly and respond to our many stakeholders' needs and concerns. We support policies that promote the discovery of innovative medicines and vaccines and make these products available to all who need them.

To advance this objective, we:

• develop policy positions that guide our activities and advocacy on a range of issues;
• seek opportunities to adopt industry-leading standards in several areas;
• strive to communicate clearly and transparently about our positions; and
• work closely with the many groups and individuals who are also trying to address the complex healthcare challenges that confront us.
