Company History | Research Milestones | Company Profile | Highlights Who we are What we do Our values Who We Are Eli Lilly and Company is a leading innovation-driven pharmaceutical corporation. We are developing a growing portfolio of best-in-class pharmaceutical products by applying the latest research from our own world-wide laboratories and from collaborations with eminent scientific organisations. Through these internal programs and external initiatives, we are seeking answers for some of the world's most urgent medical needs. As our products save and improve lives, they also save overall health care costs; they are often less expensive than other forms of health care, such as surgery and hospitalisation. We employ more than 31,000 people world-wide and market our medicines in 179 countries. The company has major research and development facilities in 9 countries and conducts clinical trials in more than 30 countries. back to top What We Do Everything at Lilly begins with the unmet medical needs of people. We provide answers for these often complex, difficult problems in two ways: through discovery and development of breakthrough medicines and through the health information we offer. We are strengthening our ability to identify high-potential drug candidates by improving our research and development, investing in new research technologies, and expanding our research team. At the same time, we have entered into dozens of research alliances world-wide to gain access to new research capabilities and additional promising compounds. To ensure that our customers get the maximum benefits from our products, we provide important information about our medicines and the diseases they treat. At Lilly, our people are the source of all our abilities and all our successes. Our future depends on our global community of employees whose varied perspectives, experience, and training provide the creativity and the energy to fuel pharmaceutical innovation. As our company touches the lives of people worldwide, we recognise that we have a responsibility to be a good corporate citizen in our communities and to help preserve the environment for the generations to come. back to top Our Values As we implement our strategies and pursue our objectives, long-established core values guide us in all that we do: Respect for people that includes our concern for the interests of all the people world-wide who touch - or are touched - by our company: customers, employees, shareholders, partners and communities.
