Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

As one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies we take our responsibilities seriously. Being responsible is an attitude of mind that's right at the heart of how we run our business. What we do helps people live longer, healthier lives. We find, develop and market drugs that treat and prevent disease all over the world. We have a fundamental commitment to healthcare providers and patients, but we also have obligations to our investors, our employees, our suppliers and the local communities in which we operate. Understanding what all these groups need from us is what we mean by responsibility. Our focus on CSR means that we are committed to open and transparent business practices that are based on ethical values and respect for employees, communities and the environment.

At Shire we are ensuring that CSR crosses all functions and is integrated into every aspect of our business. It is this commitment that continues to win Shire external recognition for our focus on CSR.
