A message from our CEO, Kåre Schultz
Teva has a rich history of providing innovative, high-quality generic and specialty drugs and health solutions to patients around the world every day. Since joining the company late last year, I’ve been motivated by the opportunity to advance this legacy of promoting health.

In December 2017, we launched a comprehensive restructuring program, crucial to restoring our financial security and stabilizing our business. We have also strengthened our leadership team and created a new organizational structure. These decisions were not taken lightly, but were necessary to enable us to better serve our patients while maintaining the highest standards of quality, ethics and compliance.

In these times of change, our commitment to Social Impact has not wavered. Social Impact is inherently embedded in our business, as Teva is uniquely positioned to improve health by offering accessible treatments to millions worldwide.

The world is facing dynamic health, environmental and social challenges. Together with our partners and stakeholders, we are committed to evolving and adapting our efforts to effect change in ways that are aligned with our business expertise and resources.

I encourage you to read about our Social Impact progress in this report and look forward to advancing these efforts together.

Kåre Schultz
President & CEO, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
