Sustainability Goals
We set measurable goals to track the progress of our sustainability strategy and report on them annually. These goals are embedded in our business operations and aligned with our core priorities: reliable supply of medicines, long-term value for shareholders, and the purpose that drives both.
Waste and Plastics
We strive to have zero waste go to landfills from routine operations and have 100% of plastic waste repurposed for beneficial use, with at least 90% recycled or reused. We’re also committed to integrating sustainability-focused design principles into product and packaging design processes.
Water Security
We strive to maintain that 100% of Lilly sites meet predicted no-effect concentrations (PNEC) for pharmaceuticals in the environment. We’re also committed to establishing and conforming to water management plans for Lilly sites in water-stressed areas.
Reach 30 Million People by 2030
Improve access to quality healthcare for 30 million people living in resource-limited settings annually by 2030, through investments in people, medicines and health systems.
Zero Injuries
We strive to achieve zero severe injuries, with a focus on continuous improvement.
