Her Promise, our purpose
We imagine a world where women, the backbone of a thriving and resilient society, can readily access solutions that meet their health needs— a world where a woman prospers, and so does her family, her community and her world for generations to come. By addressing health conditions unique to women that, affect them disproportionately or impact them differently, we are igniting our purpose to advance the complete health of women at all stages of their life journey.
We help women and girls achieve their promise through better health. By investing in high-need areas, including those that have no established precedent and where we believe the current standard of care is unacceptable, we are enabling needed innovation in women’s healthcare.
Our environmental, social and governance goals focus on three core areas: Her equity, Her planet and Her trust, along with the issues that matter most to our stakeholders, our business and most importantly, women around the world.
Our strategy and targets
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
The health of women depends on the health of our planet. While the ongoing climate crisis affects the entire world, pervasive gender inequality magnifies its impact on women and girls. Our goal is to implement environmentally friendly practices and long-term sustainability initiatives across our operations and value chain to positively impact women everywhere.
Her trust
We aim to be a credible voice for women’s rights and gender equity. We are committed to upholding the highest levels of ethics and integrity throughout our business.
