We are working to achieve a better and healthier every day for every woman through a focus on innovation, access, gender equity and environmental stewardship.
We are here to achieve Her Promise
We are working to achieve a better and healthier every day for every woman through a focus on innovation, access, gender equity and environmental stewardship.
Her Promise, Our Purpose
Our purpose is to help women and girls in Canada achieve their promise through better health and to address disparities by broadening access to treatments to the underserved. This is inextricably linked to our company vision: to create a better and healthier every day for every woman around the world.
Her Equity, Her Planet, and Her Trust
By addressing disparities in health, gender-related or not, we build a more sustainable future for women, families, economies and society. Our environmental, social and governance goals focus on three areas: Her Equity, Her Planet, and Her Trust, and the issues that matter most to our stakeholders, our business, and most importantly, women in Canada and around the world.
Her equity
Throughout the world, women have vast unmet medical needs. Our goal is to redefine and harness innovation to help women and girls achieve their promise and lead healthier, more empowered lives.
Her planet
Women are disproportionately affected by the impact of climate change. They are also more vulnerable to resource scarcity, which is why a healthy planet is important to helping women and girls achieve their promise.
Her trust
To fulfill her promise, we are working to promote balanced gender representation at all levels. We aim to reflect the gender equity within our company that we want to see in the world.
