This is Bristol Myers Squibb’s inaugural environmental, social and governance (ESG) report, written in accordance with the Biopharma Investor ESG Communications Guidance 2.0, developed by the Biopharma Investor ESG Communications Initiative, part of the Biopharma Sustainability Roundtable (BSR). The BSR is a sector-specific collaboration network with participants from 12 global biotech and pharma companies and 14 institutional investors. The Biopharma Investor ESG Communications Initiative addresses the shared interest of leading biopharma companies and investors in more effective, efficient and decision-useful communications about the sector’s highest-priority ESG issues. It facilitates an ongoing industry-investor dialog that builds consensus around the information needed to manage and assess biopharma sector ESG performance. Inspired by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the initial Biopharma Investor ESG Communications Guidance (Guidance 2.0) released in April 2020 is being followed for this report. This report also includes our first Anti-Corruption report using the Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM) guidance.
This report consolidates and aligns our longstanding reporting on sustainability performance with current standards to provide additional transparency to our progress in this critical area. This report also includes our response to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), NBIM, and the SASB requirements for the biopharmaceutical sector.
