Global Citizenship
Our Priorities
Now more than ever, the sustainability of business and the sustainability of society are interconnected. At Abbott, we believe innovative, responsible and sustainable business plays an important role in building a healthy, thriving society. This idea lies at the heart of our global citizenship strategy.
We focus our global citizenship work on four key priorities: Innovating for the Future, Enhancing Access, Protecting Patients and Consumers and Safeguarding the Environment. Within this framework, we apply our scientific expertise, business acumen, resources and employee talents to make a positive impact on the world around us. We strive to foster economic, environmental and social well-being – with our products, in the way we operate our company and through our involvement with the communities where we live and work.
Using our core strengths as an innovator to make a difference to the health and well-being of people everywhere.
Breaking down the barriers that prevent many people worldwide from accessing the medicine and health care that they need.
Protecting Patients and Consumers
Protecting the health of those who use our products while promoting quality and safety in our own and our partners’ operations.
Playing our part in addressing the global challenges of climate change and water scarcity while minimizing the environmental impacts of our products.
By integrating our core business practices with our global citizenship efforts, Abbott enhances the health, prosperity and quality of life in the communities we serve while rewarding our employees, partners and investors. In the process, we gain knowledge and experience that help us create new products and services, bring new efficiencies to our business operations and strengthen our relationships with stakeholders around the world.
