Our Commitment
Elanco’s approach to sustainability and ESG commitments is called Elanco Healthy Purpose™. This is a framework of commitments and actions that is focused on advancing the well-being of animals, people and the planet, enabling us to realize our vision of ‘Food and companionship enriching life’.
Elanco Healthy Purpose™ addresses societal challenges and underscores Elanco’s role in improving the health and wellbeing of the majority of the world’s animals.
Protein Pledge: We will create more resilient food systems by enabling 57 million more people to have access to nutritious protein.
Planet Pledge: We will remove 21 million tons of emissions from our customers' farms while reducing our own impact on the planet.
Pet Pledge: We will improve the world's wellbeing by helping at least 100 million more healthy pets help people.
Protein Pledge
Around the world, 1 in 3 people aren’t getting the right nutrition, leading to a range of challenges from malnutrition to obesity. The UN World Food Programme estimates in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic that the number of people facing food insecurity may double to 265 million by the end of the year1, on top of the 2 billion suffering from hidden hunger2.
The Elanco Protein Pledge is an active commitment to improve the efficiency and sustainability of every farmer the company works with, improve the health and welfare of 3 billion farm animals and support and enhance agricultural productivity and income of 250,000 dairy and poultry smallholder farmers.

Planet Pledge
A growing global population alongside growing environmental challenges puts the health of our planet under stress. As an example, diseases and pests affecting farm animals can increase greenhouse gas emissions as much as 50%3. Elanco’s Planet Pledge is a commitment to be customers’ lead partner on the journey toward net zero emissions on their farms, grow the product portfolio with environmental benefits and accelerate toward sustainable packaging while achieving 100% renewable sources of electricity across the company’s operations.

Pet Pledge
Pets can be a force to reverse the growing epidemic of social isolation, improving our mental, physical and social health. Forty percent of pet owners say they’ve received some type of support from people they met through their pet. And, since the COVID-19 pandemic, two-thirds of dog owners say they rely on their pets for emotional support more than before4.
Elanco’s Pet Pledge will help 40 million more pets receive better care through the company's work with veterinarians and pet owners, innovate by delivering a constant flow of new medicines and health products for pets, and help the world understand and experience the benefits of pets on wellbeing.
