00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.260
<v ->What is Teva's commitment to climate targets</v>

2
00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:08.250
and what do you think the biopharma industry as a whole

3
00:00:08.250 --> 00:00:12.030
should do in order to address this big challenge?

4
00:00:12.030 --> 00:00:14.340
<v ->I think all of us, whether at work or at home,</v>

5
00:00:14.340 --> 00:00:17.040
need to take climate change seriously

6
00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:18.870
and I think the broader topic of ESG,

7
00:00:18.870 --> 00:00:21.390
which I think you're probably leaning into there.

8
00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:23.100
So Teva's making some significant inroads.

9
00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:24.690
I think the most important thing we're doing

10
00:00:24.690 --> 00:00:26.010
is we've being very transparent

11
00:00:26.010 --> 00:00:27.660
about what we're trying to do.

12
00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:31.350
So we don't say we're behind changing climate

13
00:00:31.350 --> 00:00:33.900
and the environment agenda--

14
00:00:33.900 --> 00:00:37.380
we have actually articulated and clarified

15
00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:39.390
our exact targets of what we're doing.

16
00:00:39.390 --> 00:00:40.710
So greenhouse gas emissions,

17
00:00:40.710 --> 00:00:42.690
how much are we going to reduce them, by when.

18
00:00:42.690 --> 00:00:45.360
So we've listed out exactly what we think

19
00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:46.950
is necessary to help climate change

20
00:00:46.950 --> 00:00:48.120
and what targets we've got,

21
00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:49.380
so we can be held accountable.

22
00:00:49.380 --> 00:00:52.920
We need to make sure that we're part of a global community,

23
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:53.910
whether that's the environment

24
00:00:53.910 --> 00:00:54.900
or whether that's society,

25
00:00:54.900 --> 00:00:56.400
and we have a responsibility

26
00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:58.380
to make sure people have access to medicines.

27
00:00:58.380 --> 00:01:00.180
The same when it comes to diversity and inclusion.

28
00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:02.040
We're a global company

29
00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:04.560
and we need to make sure we give access

30
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.650
to people from all different types of backgrounds.

31
00:01:07.650 --> 00:01:12.240
I think the industry should take everything, take it seriously,

32
00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:13.980
take the environment seriously,

33
00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:15.660
and industry has an opportunity

34
00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:17.820
to make a significant difference.

35
00:01:17.820 --> 00:01:20.120
As an individual I try and do my best at home,

36
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.200
but that's marginal

37
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.060
and we all have to do it together to have an impact.

38
00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:25.860
But companies, particularly companies

39
00:01:25.860 --> 00:01:27.690
who have manufacturing bases

40
00:01:27.690 --> 00:01:29.610
and research bases can make a difference

41
00:01:29.610 --> 00:01:30.900
when it comes to the environment.

42
00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:33.600
So I think we've got to accept our responsibility

43
00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:36.513
and embrace it and execute on it.
