Our global approach to ESG and sustainability – Elanco’s Healthy Purpose™ – is a framework of commitments and actions built on four interconnected pillars: Healthier Animals, Healthier People, Healthier Planet and Healthier Enterprise – which represent the areas we believe are most important to our customers, employees, investors and other stakeholders. We’re driving a Healthier Enterprise by managing our environmental footprint and integrating the management and oversight of ESG issues throughout our operations.
Our sustainability efforts serve as a competitive advantage as we launch innovations that transform animal care for our customers and bring tools to help the environment. From the first treatment for parvovirus – one of the deadliest diseases in puppies – to pioneering new products and helping build marketplaces that support emissions reduction goals, our global team is supporting healthier animals and a healthier, more sustainable world.
