Making life better means that we protect and preserve the world we live in. While making medicines requires the use of valuable resources, including energy, water and raw materials, Lilly remains committed to improving our environmental impact across our product life cycles and supply chain. We’ve set new goals to further reduce our emissions, waste and resource use.
Lilly recognizes our responsibility to reduce our greenhouse emissions to help fight climate change. We have set aggressive new targets and have an established global energy-management program. Lilly’s 2030 goal is for 100% of purchased electricity to come from renewable sources and to achieve carbon neutrality in our operations.
As our product portfolio evolves, we intend to find new and better ways to minimize our environmental footprint and impact on the communities where we operate.
