The Broader Perspective reflects a simple belief that seeing the full picture leads to smarter decisions and greater impact. By understanding the needs of all our stakeholders – from patients to providers, retailers to regulators – we can act more thoughtfully and responsibly. Because when we see further and act together, we can drive lasting environmental, social and governance change and expand our impact for generations to come. Each sustainability impact report marks our progress, highlighting where we’re delivering results today and where we’re continuing to live our mission to help people see better to live better.
