Our social responsibility strategy introduces new long-term ambitions in three areas critical to help improve individual and public health:

• Preventing the rise of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
• Providing access to affordable care for vulnerable patients in every country.
• Driving innovation to improve lives. 

Today, one in every 11 people in the world has diabetes, a figure that is projected to rise to one in nine by 2045 if action is not taken.

Diabetes places a great burden on health systems, and we are committed to work with health authorities and other partners in the countries where we operate, to prevent and treat the disease.
