The BSR is a sector-specific collaboration network with participants from 12 global biotech and pharma companies and 14 institutional investors. The Biopharma Investor ESG Communications Initiative addresses the shared interest of leading biopharma companies and investors in more effective, efficient and decision-useful communications about the sector’s highest-priority ESG issues. It facilitates an ongoing industry-investor dialog that builds consensus around the information needed to manage and assess biopharma sector ESG performance. Inspired by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the initial Biopharma Investor ESG Communications Guidance (Guidance 2.0) released in April 2020 is being followed for this report. This report also includes our first Anti-Corruption report using the Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM) guidance. This report consolidates and aligns our longstanding reporting on sustainability performance with current standards to provide additional transparency to our progress in this critical area. This report also includes our response to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), NBIM, and the SASB requirements for the biopharmaceutical sector. All data in this report represent work conducted in 2020, except where noted. 2020 ESG REPORT | 5 A Letter from Giovanni Caforio 2020 was a pivotal year for Bristol Myers Squibb. The first year of our new combined company was also a year in which we faced adversity and change as never before due to the global pandemic and the movement for social justice. Despite these challenges, we maintained a continued supply of medicines to our patients, protected the health, wellbeing and safety of our workforce and delivered strong business performance. We took significant action to address the needs of patients, healthcare providers and communities, including expanding our existing patient support programs to help eligible patients in the U.S. who lost their health insurance due to the pandemic. Moreover, as we strived to transform patients’ lives through science, our company made significant progress on our efforts on ESG issues. Driving value for our business and our communities As a leading biopharmaceutical company, our passion for making Achieving our 2020 goals an impact extends well beyond the discovery, development and We achieved an important milestone as we met or exceeded all delivery of innovative medicines
