Zoetis yesterday published its 2020 Sustainability Report “Our Journey Toward a Better World” describing its commitment to continued disclosure on environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics and progress toward the company’s Driven to Care long-term sustainability aspirations.
The report highlights the company’s journey to champion a healthier, more sustainable future through specific commitments to Communities, Animals and the Planet; these commitments build on Zoetis’ purpose and help achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Complementing the report is a comprehensive ESG Appendix, an update from the company’s baseline disclosure published in November 2020, which shares key ESG performance indicators, including those set out by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) for the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals industry.
“Zoetis has a long history of addressing important challenges faced by veterinarians and farmers. Our new charitable foundation represents the next chapter in extending and driving forward these commitments,” said Jeannette Ferran Astorga, Head of Sustainability at Zoetis and President of the Zoetis Foundation. “Specifically, the Zoetis Foundation will look for opportunities to address lack of diversity in both professions, the need for resources that support emotional well-being, financial burdens such as veterinary student loans, and lack of access to a higher standard of animal care in underserved areas.”
A full copy of the report is available on the Zoetis website.
