LEVERAGING OUR HERITAGE FOR A STRONG FUTURE

With a deep heritage and expertise across our areas of focus, we overcome challenges along every step of the R&D pathway. We’ve been around for almost one hundred years and through focused expansion of our development pipeline, we are building momentum to be around for another hundred. We are forging life-changing external partnerships, creating great possibilities and executing a strong external innovation strategy.

We are dedicating significant firepower to identify and collaborate with external innovators in the development of new assets. With the continued performance of our commercial assets as strong growth platforms, this figure will increase.
