"Amgen's commitment to good ESG practices dates back to our founding more than four decades ago. Throughout our history, Amgen has contributed to society in many ways – most importantly by bringing innovative medicines to patients with serious disease, but also by supporting our employees and their families, contributing to the well-being of our local communities, and operating our business in an ethical, environmentally responsible, and socially inclusive manner."
— Robert A. Bradway, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
