Fourth ESG Report Details Company’s Progress Towards
Environmental Sustainability and Contributions Toward Building
Healthier Communities as a Leading Provider of Accessible
Medicines
Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMRX) (“Amneal” or the
“Company”) today announced the release of its fourth (2023)
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report. This 2023 report
provides a look at our progress against our core ESG priorities,
including our commitment to embedding sustainability across our
business; human capital management, including well-being, inclusion
and belonging efforts; philanthropic partnerships with
health-related non-profits; corporate governance and oversight over
ESG strategy and risks; and improving access to essential medicines
globally.
At its core – Amneal is a company that believes in responsible
corporate citizenship. Our 2023 ESG Report documents how a
family-founded business has evolved into a world-class, global
diversified pharmaceutical company headquartered in the U.S. that
operationalizes its ESG commitments across our three core
geographies (the U.S., India and Ireland).
“In 2024, our business is stronger than ever, allowing the
Company to execute upon its mission of enhancing access to
essential medicines such as complex pharmaceuticals, institutional
injectables, specialty brands and biosimilars for patients in need.
We also continue to improve and expand upon our prior ESG efforts
to advance environmental sustainability, diversify our employee
base and strengthen our corporate governance and compliance
programs,” said Chirag Patel, Co-CEO and Co-Founder.
“In tandem with our scientific innovation and commitment to a
high-quality supply chain, we are actively working to progress our
decarbonization efforts through rigorous processes for tracking and
monitoring which will drive incremental benefits. We take this
obligation very seriously as we seek additional ways to make
healthy possible,” said Chintu Patel, Co-CEO and Co-Founder.
Key 2023 ESG Achievements
- Affordability and Accessibility:
In 2023, we advanced our commitment to accessible medicines by
launching 39 new retail generics and injectable products (compared
to 26 in 2022.) We entered the India market with our Critical Care,
Ophthalmology and Oncology portfolios, bringing innovative
high-quality medicines to patients. Furthermore, an Amneal
representative joined the board of directors of the Association of
Accessible Medicines (AAM) and the Company also joined the
Biosimilars Forum. Together these organizations help make more
life-saving treatments available to the patients who need them.
- ESG Strategy & Risk:
In 2023, we engaged a reputable third-party organization to
conduct our first Materiality Assessment. This perception-based
assessment is intended to highlight Amneal’s key ESG opportunities
and risks, further shaping our long-range ESG strategy, priorities
and investments. The assessment process included identifying key
internal and external stakeholders for in-depth discussions. We
expect to share the results of the Materiality Assessment in next
year’s ESG report.
In 2023, we introduced a new cross-functional ESG Taskforce. The
overriding objective of this team is to advise and guide the
business and the leadership team on the ESG regulatory and
compliance requirements plus enlist partnership from the different
business units involved. Additionally, to support our data
management efforts, we are tracking our global greenhouse gas
emissions data in a systematic way locally.
- Environmental Sustainability:
Following the progress made in 2022 when we began to measure the
Company’s emissions, Amneal developed our first sustainability
focused Inventory Management Plan and accompanying Standard
Operating Procedures and initial Workflow documents, in alignment
with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Furthermore, we implemented a new
greenhouse gas accounting software to support our measurement and
evaluation of greenhouse gas emissions across our three core
geographies, as committed in our 2022 ESG Report.
- Inclusion and Belonging:
In 2023, we held specific training and education sessions on
diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) across the globe
along with community building events and workshops. We have an
active goal of improving gender diversity across all of our India
sites. In 2023, the India teams achieved an increase from 7.8%
female representation to 9.2%. We also scaled up our Employee
Resource Group (ERG) program since 2022, by expanding our women’s
ERG, AmnealWomen, pilot program with two dedicated chapters in both
the U.S. and India.
- Good Governance:
Amneal has established an effective enterprise-wide Corporate
Compliance Program that is designed to identify and address risks
through critical thinking and collaboration with business partners.
The Corporate Compliance function promotes transparency by
identifying opportunities to reinforce that compliance is
everyone’s responsibility. Amneal’s Corporate Compliance function
routinely conducts auditing and monitoring of business
activities—in cooperation with Amneal’s Internal Audit team—to
assess adherence to company policy, identify potential training
needs and ascertain the need for policy development or
modification.
