Our commitment to improving global health and being a responsible business will continue under my leadership.
Investors, patients and consumers, employees and communities rightly expect companies to consider their social impact as well as financial impact as they seek to create value over the long term. Since starting in this role, I have taken the opportunity to understand the views of a broad range of stakeholders. The feedback I received played a big part in the development of our new, balanced set of long-term priorities for GSK – Innovation, Performance and Trust. We are investing in all three to deliver financial returns and a broader long-term societal contribution.”
