Global CSR Program

Our Global CSR Program supports activities in developing and emerging countries that prevent disease, train health workers, strengthen supply chains, and improve access to quality diagnosis and treatment. We make robust, long-term funding commitments, recognizing that there are no quick fixes and that sustainable impact takes time. We actively partner with world-class organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with proven track records of addressing global health problems in innovative, enduring ways. Each year, we empower all our 50,000 employees to decide which new activities the Global CSR Program supports.
