Environmental Management
As a global health care company with diverse operations around the world, managing our impact is complex and far reaching. We aim to do this through good stewardship of natural resources, controlling and reducing where feasible any substantial harmful impact of our products and processes.
Our Worldwide Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) department provides advice and assistance to the local affiliate management team that are responsible for environmental compliance at our facilities around the world. This organization monitors performance and compliance, sets and monitors progress against overall corporate goals, sponsors topic-specific integrated teams, oversees EHS assessments of our operations, and drives our transparency efforts in the area of EHS performance. The EHS Leadership Council coordinates these efforts and is composed of business franchise and operating company EHS leaders.
Worldwide EHS sponsors several integrated internal teams for sustainable packaging and marketing, product stewardship, emerging issues, industrial hygiene, occupational safety and other key topics, enabling a holistic approach to these issues across businesses. In addition, each of our three business segments – Consumer Products, Pharmaceuticals, and Medical Devices and Diagnostics – is overseen by councils or executives responsible for the promotion of sustainability throughout their businesses. In our Consumer Products group, a vice president for Sustainability guides their efforts while our other sectors are overseen by Sustainability councils.
The Public Policy Advisory Committee (PPAC) assists the Board of Directors by reviewing and making recommendations regarding Company positions on public policy issues facing the Company, public health issues, the health and safety of employees, the environment and other issues pertinent to our social, environmental and economic performance. The PPAC is composed of independent directors; the Company’s general counsel; and vice presidents for Corporate Affairs, Government Affairs and Policy, and Worldwide Operations. Environmental strategy and performance are reviewed annually.
