Philip Sparks
Welcome, everyone, to AstraZeneca’s 2026 Sustainability Update for Investors and Analysts. I’m Philip Sparks, Director of Investor Relations. And before we hear from Pam and members of our sustainability team, I’d like to remind you of our forward-looking statements, including our safe harbor provisions.
And now I will hand over to our EVP, Global Operations and Chief Sustainability Officer, Pam Cheng, who will run through the latest progress in our sustainability strategy before we move on to Q&A. Pam, over to you.

Thanks, Phil, and welcome, everyone. It’s a pleasure to be here today. In addition to leading our global operations, which includes manufacturing and supply and global IT, I have had the pleasure of being AstraZeneca’s Chief Sustainability Officer since 2023. I’m pleased to share an update on our sustainability performance today and welcome any questions at the end. In addition to Phil, I’m joined today by Liz Chatwin, who leads our sustainability strategy and safety, health and environment as well as Stefan Weber, who leads policy, advocacy and health equity.
Next slide, please. Let’s first start by considering the context we are operating in and why as a pharmaceutical business, we place a significant focus on sustainability. At AstraZeneca, we are focused on improving health. We understand that the health of people, society and the planet are deeply interconnected, and we believe we have a role to play in taking action here.
