The UN Sustainable Development Goals where we have greatest impact on
Our Sustainability Targets
We aim to…
Across the globe, there are some 550 million smallholders who provide up to 80% of their countries' food supplies. Many of them, however, can barely earn their own living. We want to help by improving access to knowledge, products and services.
At least half the world's population currently has no access to basic health services, including self-medication products. We want to change this by ensuring the availability of appropriate products and education.
According to the United Nations, gender equality will be a decisive factor for the world's future economic and social development. We want to strengthen the role of women and intensify our efforts in modern family planning.
We therefore will provide equitable pricing and patient affordability programs. Our ambition is to reach 100 million people by 2030.
Moreover, we will continue our collaboration with the WHO to fight tropical diseases like African Sleeping Sickness and Chagas Disease, typically hitting the lowest levels of the income pyramid the worst.
