At Bristol-Myers Squibb, sustainability means conducting our business to help patients prevail over serious diseases in a manner that contributes to economic growth, social responsibility and a healthy environment now and in the future.

Preservation of natural resources represents one of our key commitments. Our Sustainability 2010 Goals, initiated in 2000, have resulted in significant progress in reducing Bristol-Myers Squibb’s environmental impacts worldwide. Since then, the company has met and surpassed the majority of its goals, including a 40 percent reduction in energy use, normalized to sales. As Bristol-Myers Squibb focuses on the future, our next generation of sustainability goals (through 2015), intensifies our commitment to sustainable, ethical and compliant global business practices.
