Viatris Renamed to USA Today’s List of America’s Climate Leaders

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 in 2023, and again in 2024. 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 and spans several disease states: most notably, HIV and TB.

In 2025, we provided access to high-quality and affordable ARVs to approximately 4.5 million patients across nearly 125 countries.

Since 2022, we have provided treatments for >28.1 million patients, including >1.8 million children. Today, approximately 45% of the world’s children receiving treatment for HIV use a Viatris product.

We are particularly proud of our contributions to combatting TB across the globe. Since 2019, we have provided TB screening for more than 1.5 million people in India. In the U.S., we provide lower-cost options for several common treatments in an effort to reduce the high cost of care. We also recently partnered with the TB Alliance to develop a treatment for multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Serving Our Communities

We are committed to building healthier communities worldwide. Part of that commitment means being there to support those communities when there is pain and suffering.

Viatris hosted more than 45 Building Healthier Communities Initiatives in 2025, harnessing the power of 4,500 employees worldwide to make an impact in their local communities. Some of these initiatives included stocking local food banks, planting over 2,500 trees, and assembling over 500 hygiene kits for local distribution in times of crisis.

When hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria hit portions of the U.S., we shipped more than 6 million doses of essential medicines to the areas most affected. We partnered with SBP to rebuild homes in the hardest hit areas of Puerto Rico.

In 2022, SBP restored its 250th home as part of the “Got Your Back” Fund. More recently, the organization responded to the deadly wildfires that tore through the Hawaiian island of Maui during August of 2023. We are so touched by this work and are proud to offer our support to those who are on the front lines responding to disaster and hardship within our communities.

Recognitions

We have been named to TIME’s World’s Most Sustainable Companies 2026 list and Newsweek’s World’s Greenest Companies List, showcasing our commitment to operating responsibly while we work to build sustainable access to medicines at scale for patients worldwide. We are also proud to have cemented our reputation as an employer of choice, having been certified as a Great Place to Work in more than 50 countries and recognized on Forbes’ annual list of World’s Best Employers for the fifth year in a row.
