Economic Performance: Indirect Impacts

Our company's mission is to extend and enhance human life by providing the highest-quality pharmaceutical and related health care products. Our number one goal is to touch people hundreds of millions of times over the next five years, extending and enhancing their lives. Our medicines, nutritionals, and medical devices are helping people around the globe. We provide significant value to society with minor negative environmental impacts and significant positive social impacts relative to many other industries.

Our pharmaceutical products save countless dollars every year by extending and enhancing people's lives. Studies support the economic value of medicines versus other medical treatments for addressing migraine, breast cancer, heart disease, and other serious health problems.

In addition to our products, our research, manufacturing, distribution, sales, and other operations create tens of thousands of jobs for suppliers, contractors, and ancillary services.

Finally, our philanthropic activities have a notable economic impact on local communities and individuals.

Taken together, our social, environmental, and economic actions support Bristol-Myers Squibb's commitment to make a positive difference in the many lives we touch.
