Responsibility

Responsible business

Building trust by operating responsibly is integral to our strategy and our culture. We are committed to getting ahead of issues that matter for society and for the long-term performance of our company.

Our approach to being a responsible company

We know that we need to get ahead of disease in the right way. This means being conscious of how we do things and the impact we have on the world around us - however big or small - while we strive to maximize the impact of the products we provide.

Central to our purpose is a defining measure of delivering health impact at scale. Our plan shows that we can positively impact the health of 2.5 billion people worldwide by the end of the decade. Acting as a responsible business by considering our social, environmental and governance therefore supports sustainable performance and long-term growth; builds trust with all our stakeholders; reduces risk to our operations and enables delivery of positive social impact.

Our six areas of focus

We’ve identified six areas of responsible business that matter most to us: access; global health and health security; environment; inclusion; ethical standards and product governance.

Access
We aim to make our products available as widely as possible through responsible pricing, strategic access programmes and partnerships.
Global health and health security
Our innovation and partnerships help protect people around the world by tackling global health threats.
Environment
We are committed to work towards a net zero, nature positive, healthier planet, with ambitious goals set for 2030 and 2045.
Inclusion
To be a successful business and deliver positive health impact at scale, we must meet patients’ needs with research that includes those impacted by the disease under study, attract and retain the best talent regardless of background, and support all GSK people to thrive.
Ethical standards
Conducting ourselves in the right way, and making sure those we work with do likewise, sustains trust in our work and strengthens our business.
Product governance
Ensuring the quality, safety and reliable supply of our products protects our patients and enables our continued success.
