The Millennium Development Goals Our contribution Roche’s contribution to the Millennium Development Goals

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight international development goals that the United Nations member states have agreed to achieve by the year 2015. The goals include:

1. Ending poverty and hunger 2. Achieving universal primary education 3. Promoting gender equality and empowering women 4. Reducing child mortality 5. Improving maternal health 6. Combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases 7. Ensuring environmental sustainability 8. Forming global partnerships for development

As an industry, healthcare companies are in a strong position to support the MDGs. Aligned with Roche’s core business goals of improving human health and finding sustainable solutions, our contributions can make a lasting impact on global health, changing the lives of individuals and communities.

Through our commitment to developing innovative medicines and diagnostics that will help patients live longer, better lives and through specific initiatives, Roche is contributing towards the global drive to achieve each of these goals.

Activities that are enabling us to do this span the areas of:

• Sustainable patent and pricing policies • Education, training, knowledge-transfer and capacity building • Partnerships with governments, NGOs and other organisations • R&D into diseases with high unmet medical need

The following table provides examples of Roche’s activities and initiatives. In all that we do we focus our energies on the areas in which we can use our expertise and add value. These range from humanitarian and social projects centred mainly in Least Developed Countries (LDCs), to initiatives to increase access to medicines and diagnostic tests, globally.

Further details about these programmes can be found on our website: www.roche.com/access_programmes
