Our sustainability impact

Healthcare is facing challenges all over the world. With rising populations, the rising burden of chronic disease and the growing impact of the climate crisis on health, health systems are struggling to meet people’s needs.
This strain is exacerbating existing inequities in healthcare and vulnerable populations continue to be the most affected. As a global, science-led, patient-focused company, we believe science is key to unlocking the answers to healthcare challenges and to transforming healthcare for billions of people.
Our Sustainability Impact publication shines a light on some of the ways in which we are taking bold action on sustainability to improve the health of people, society and the planet.
At AstraZeneca, we think about sustainability holistically – it’s how we build a healthier future for people, society and the planet. That’s a broad definition but it needs to be, because achieving a healthier, more sustainable future requires tackling the biggest challenges of our time – from climate change and biodiversity loss, to health equity and health system resilience – and doing so in a way that is ethical, transparent and inclusive.

Transitioning to electronic Product Information (ePI)
Around the world, people are increasingly consuming information digitally.
We’re working closely with global regulators and policymakers to transition to paperless product information leaflets, taking an important step towards sustainable healthcare delivery that benefits patients and health systems. We're focused on a responsible transition to ePI that ensures equitable access to information by working with our partners and healthcare system stakeholders. We will take a digital-first approach while allowing for flexibility for patients to access information through alternative ways if needed.
