Corporate Political Contributions Report

Abbott participates in the political process by contributing to state and local candidates and political organizations that influence patients' access to affordable and innovative medicines and the company's long-term success. Contributions to office holders and candidates are bipartisan and based on several criteria: policy positions that reflect Abbott's interests; representation of geographic areas where Abbott employees and facilities are located; relevant legislative committee assignments; ability to be elected; and need for financial assistance. Abbott's Government Affairs function reviews and approves all corporate political contributions to ensure these contributions are consistent with the company's guidelines and in accordance with applicable laws.

Below are links to reports of Abbott's corporate contributions to political candidates, political parties, political committees and organizations operating under 26 USC Sec. 527 of the Internal Revenue Code.
