Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS), a global healthcare company, today released its 2022 Sustainability Report, which highlights the company’s commitment, impact, and progress in creating sustainable access to medicine while continuing to make a positive difference in key areas such as Access and Global Health, Our People, the Environment, and the Community.

“At Viatris, access is fundamental to our mission of empowering people worldwide to live healthier at every stage of life,” stated Scott A. Smith, CEO. “It starts with our ability to deliver high-quality medicines and health solutions to people at scale, regardless of geography or circumstance.” Our dedication is both practical and aspirational, and it extends beyond the development, manufacture, and distribution of pharmaceuticals. We also collaborate with others to promote healthy communities and the environment.

Viatris

Viatris has signed the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and is committed to the Compact’s ten principles concerning human rights, labour, the environment, and anti-corruption, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals.

In 2022, the following are some highlights of Viatris’ efforts and initiatives throughout its several areas of impact:

Accessibility and Global Health

Globally, we have supplied medicines to over 1 billion individuals.

Treatment was provided to over 8 million persons living with HIV/AIDS, including nearly 600,000 children.

More than 250 drugs on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Essential drugs List were provided, as were 62 goods on the WHO Pre-Qualification List.

Healthcare professional education and training have been promoted and reinforced in order to construct more resilient healthcare systems and meet the burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), which account for roughly 75% of global deaths each year. In 2022, Viatris’ outreach to healthcare professionals affected over 300 million patients.

Our Team

We conducted our first global Viatris Voice Survey, with 89% participation. The baseline survey constituted a watershed moment in our effort to engage colleagues by listening to their thoughts on overall engagement, diversity, equity, and inclusion, health and wellbeing, and transformation and change.

Named one of Forbes’ World’s Best Employers for 2022, ranking in the top 10% of the list’s 800 employers.

The Neighbourhood

We donated over 450 million doses of medicines through our global partners and gave a total of $1 million to four organisations to help with access to healthcare, food security, and water stewardship: Direct Relief, World Central Kitchen (WCK), WaterAid, and World Food Programme USA, a partner of the United Nations World Food Programme.

Helped to evacuate and transfer people during the start of the crisis in Ukraine, and offered finances, medical contributions, and supplies to towns hit by earthquakes in areas of Turkey and Syria in February 2023.
