Teva Releases Innovation and Social Responsibility Highlights

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE:TEVA) released its Corporate Social Responsibility Highlights today. In one year, Teva—the world's largest generic medicines maker and recognized leader in specialty pharmaceuticals—launched more than 315 new generic medicines to more than 200 million patients, in over 60 countries. Additionally, Teva is on target to launch over 1000 new generic medicines in 2016 and nearly 1500 new generic medicines in 2017 as well as 27 new specialty products by 2019.

“We remain committed to ensuring that our medicines are available and adapted to serve global and changing healthcare needs,” said Teva President and CEO Erez Vigodman. “The highlights released today demonstrate our evolution over the last few years as we make healthcare accessible for billions of people around the world and seek to reduce the burden on national economies and investing in development to bring new therapeutic options to patients.”

Teva’s work in decreasing generic prescription drug prices in the U.S., saving billions for the UK National Health Service, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and other recent insights into the company’s social responsibility and innovation efforts can be found in “Innovating for Better Health: Teva Global Corporate Social Responsibility Highlights.”

Highlights include:

• Creating the next generation of health startups. In January 2015, Teva, in collaboration with Phillips Healthcare, launched Sanara Ventures. It is the first partnership of its kind in Israel. The venture capital incubator committed to investing approximately $26 million to support 40-50 early-stage digital healthcare and medical device companies in the next eight years. To date, out of 400 applications, four companies have received funding, with two receiving full licensure in the digital health and respiratory space.
• Enhancing patient treatment methods. Teva scientists are playing a unique role in developing innovative therapies by taking already known molecules and repurposing and transforming them for better efficacy, safety and improved patient compliance. Current new therapies are in advanced stages of development and include a long-lasting, ready-to-use treatment for schizophrenia patients.
• Personalized medicine. Teva’s pharmacogenomics research in Israel is working to identify specific genetic modifications among similar communities. The potential exists to develop targeted treatments that can prevent serious diseases in populations with similar genetic markers.
• Supporting women in leadership positions around the globe. At Teva, 49 percent of total management at all levels, and 35 percent of executives and senior management are women. Research from 2015 on business diversity shows that around the world just 22 percent of senior roles are held by women, compared to 19 percent in 2004.

These milestones align with the announcement of Teva’s Target Zero vision to achieve zero incidents, zero injuries and zero releases into the environment. As part of this vision, Teva pledged to reduce energy consumption by 20 percent and reduce greenhouse gas emissions 15 percent by 2020. Between 2012 and 2014, Teva cut greenhouse gas emissions by six percent and reduced water usage by 17 percent in 2014 alone.

Each year, since 2011, Teva has responded to the climate change information survey by the Carbon Disclosure Project, most recently scoring a 96B out of a highest possible score of 100A.

“These highlights demonstrate Teva’s continued commitment to offer real value to patients and healthcare systems around the globe,” said Iris Beck-Codner, Group Executive Vice President, Corporate Marketing Excellence and Communications. "The report also highlights our sustained efforts to preserve the environment, as well as our steadfast commitment to ensure that Teva employees achieve their fullest potential in a healthy work environment. As a whole, it reflects the progress we've made, our vision for the future and our belief that the global healthcare industry must play an increasingly integral role in creating accessible, innovative and sustainable solutions for people everywhere.”
