It is important that our company shapes global public policy debates on issues specific to the people we serve and to our other key stakeholders including shareholders and employees. Our engagement in the political arena helps address the most pressing issues related to ensuring that patients have access to needed medications—leading to improved patient outcomes. Through public policy engagement, we provide a way for all of our locations globally to shape the public policy environment in a manner that supports access to innovative medicines. We engage on issues specific to local business environments (corporate tax, for example). Based on our company’s strategy and the most recent trends in the policy environment, our company has decided to focus on three key areas: innovation, health care delivery, and pricing and reimbursement. More detailed information on key issues can be found in our 2012/13 Corporate Responsibility update. Through our policy research, development, and stakeholder dialogue activities, Lilly develops positions and advocates on these key issues. Government actions such as price controls, pharmaceutical manufacturer rebates, and access to Lilly medicines affect our ability to invest in innovation.

Lilly is committed to participating in the political process as a responsible corporate citizen to help inform the U.S. debate over health care and pharmaceutical innovation.

  • End of Session Update Cooperative School Districts of Greater Kansas City May 18, 2020
    Steven R. Carroll & Associates Legislative Consultants-Lobbyists-Attorneys at Law 215 East Capitol Avenue Jefferson City, Missouri 65101 Phone: 573-761-5952 Fax: 573-761-7490 Missouri General Assembly Legislative End of Session Update Cooperative School Districts of Greater Kansas City May 18, 2020 The historical 2020 legislative session now belongs to the ages. In many ways this legislative session could have been titled “the session of the unknowns.” It has been 102 years since a legislative session had to deal with a pandemic. Not since the legislative session during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic has witnessed so many uncertainties. I started my fifth decade of being involved in state government this session. Over the years I have witnessed a lot, but never a session quite like this because of the coronavirus. The legislature lost six weeks of the session while they were temporarily shut down. When the legislators came back to finish the session, it was as if they were chasing a runaway roller coaster. In all my years I have never seen so many large omnibus bills being drafted and trying to get passed. The House alone took 26 non-controversial Senate bills and turned them into huge multi-issue bills in the hundreds of pages. Almost all of these massive bills were defeated in the final days of the session. In addition, for the first time that I know of, the Senate reconsidered a truly agreed to and finally passed bill and overturned it. This bill, HB 1862, was a conference committee report and included the Speaker of the House’s priority issue, which was to take away eminent domain from the Grain Belt Energy Group.

  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Senior Vice President, Public Policy 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? and the government agencies administering the federal and individual state election laws.
