Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Abbott

Environmental Sustainability

Community Impact and Philanthropy

We view philanthropy as a powerful source for driving social innovations that lead to more resilient, healthier communities. It provides an opportunity for us to pioneer new ideas, generate new solutions, develop the next generation of leaders, strengthen civic and social organizations and build partnerships to solve complex, global problems. We apply three principles that we believe are fundamental to thoughtful and effective philanthropy:

COMMUNITY-DRIVEN

Community solutions must be a collaborative effort with the people we seek to support, and ultimately be owned by them

IMPACTFUL

Measuring and evaluating our impacts is a powerful tool that allows us to continually learn and make critical decisions

SUSTAINABLE

We understand that the long-term success of programs depends on self-reliance free of donor support
