Viatris Joins USA Today’s inaugural list of America’s Climate Leaders 2023

At Viatris, we recognize the importance of environmental action and are proud of our work to reduce the effects of climate change to help improve the health of the patients we serve. This commitment to reduce emission intensity named Viatris on USA Today’s inaugural list of America’s Climate Leaders 2023. This recognition is a testament to the company’s success in increasing renewable energy use, enhancing operational efficiencies, and transitioning to upgraded equipment and alternative fuels.

  • Viatris commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 and to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25%.
  • The Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) independently assessed and approved our greenhouse gas emissions targets in line with its strict, globally recognized criteria in 2022. Our targets allow us to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C preindustrial levels.

Viatris Corporate Social Responsibility in the U.S. - Highlights

At Viatris, we know our work has the potential to positively impact the health of communities worldwide, including in the U.S. Whether through philanthropic giving, partnerships or volunteerism, our efforts support access to education and healthcare as well as local community programs.

Fighting infectious disease

Our commitment to combatting infectious disease is significant. In 2023, we provided access to high-quality and affordable ARVs to nearly 125 countries. This includes providing ARV treatment to approximately 8.6 million patients, more than 670,000 of whom are children living with HIV/AIDS. In the U.S., we have launched lower-cost options to several common treatments in an effort to reduce the high cost of care. And recently, we partnered with the TB Alliance to develop a treatment for multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis.
