Indivior Annual Report and Financial Statements 2014 1 Strategic Report Chief Executive’s Statement Our fundamental task is to shift attitudes about addiction from being a global human crisis to a recognized and treated disease All of us at Indivior PLC share a belief that addiction is a highly treatable medical condition. The fundamental task we share is to shift attitudes around the world towards addiction. Addiction is not about bad people doing bad things who deserve to be punished. It is about normal people, who have been exposed to and become dependent on opioid painkillers, alcohol or other addictive drugs and who risk being socially marginalized as a result. We believe these people deserve medical treatment.
