GSK has today published its Corporate Responsibility Report, in which the company reiterates its commitment to operate responsibly, openly and transparently and sets out advances made on this agenda during 2011.
Corporate responsibility is central to GSK’s strategy to deliver sustainable financial performance whilst providing shared value to patients, consumers and governments.
GSK CEO Sir Andrew Witty said:
“At GSK, we firmly believe that operating in a responsible and ethical way is essential for the success of our business. This underpins the way we work and how we develop our business model to ensure we deliver sustainable financial performance and provide shared value to patients, consumers and governments."
"Our record in 2011 shows that we are making good progress – forming agreements to increase access to our newest vaccines for children in the world’s poorest countries, committing to support new research efforts to tackle antimicrobial resistance and starting to deliver against our ambitious goals to reduce our environmental impact. But we are not complacent and we will continue to challenge ourselves in the coming months and years to do all we can to deliver for patients and society.”
2011 highlights
The 2011 Corporate Responsibility Report highlights progress around four core areas of focus: Health for all, Our people and communities, Our behaviour and Our planet:
As part of its ongoing commitment to responsible, values-based business, GSK will continue to review its plans and commitments across each of the four areas, looking to establish further long-term goals and targets.
