Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Sustainability

Our global approach to ESG and sustainability – Elanco’s Healthy Purpose™ – is a framework of commitments and actions built on four interconnected pillars: Healthier Animals, Healthier People, Healthier Planet and Healthier Enterprise – which represent the areas we believe are most important to our customers, employees, investors and other stakeholders. We’re driving a Healthier Enterprise by managing our environmental footprint and integrating the management and oversight of ESG issues throughout our operations.

Elanco's Healthy Purpose is foundational to our company culture, uniting teams across the globe in our commitment to operate responsibly and positively impact the health and well-being of animals, people and the planet.
