Social: Her Equity
We are working to help women and girls achieve their promise through better health.
Health is at the root of sustainable development for individuals, communities, and societies. In addition, gender equity is an important indicator and contributor to economic growth. Women’s health should be a priority everywhere in the world.
We are working toward a better and healthier every day for every woman by bringing forward the innovations needed to support women’s health, expanding access to medicines and other products, and advancing equity inside and outside the company.
Key 2023 achievements
Helped prevent ~65 million unintended pregnancies through the Her Promise Access Initiative, more than halfway to our goal
Provided over 54 million women and girls in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs) affordable access to contraceptive options

Completed pay equity studies conducted by external economic and legal experts in nine of our largest markets (Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States) and achieved 100% balance in pay equity for similarly situated female and male employees in equivalent positions*
*Adjusted to account for legitimate labor economic factors.
We are one of the few healthcare companies dedicated to advancing scientific innovations that support women’s health.
People around the world trust us to produce and market safe and effective medicines and medical devices. We deploy rigorous processes and procedures throughout the product lifecycle, beginning with clinical trials, to ensure our products serve a diverse patient population, meet our quality standards and are used compliantly and safely.
We aim to help address the barriers to accessing our medicines — whether they are geographic, financial, social, cultural, or political — and create a better and healthier every day for every woman.
To create a better and healthier every day for every woman, we need a talented, dedicated workforce. As part of our efforts to foster that workforce, we have created a powerful culture, built around our purpose.
As part of our commitment to Her Promise, we endeavor to support communities in need by partnering with organizations that provide health services for historically underserved groups and those that provide a timely response to disasters and humanitarian crises.
