Collaboration details

The Access to Medicine Index measures a range of value drivers within the pharmaceutical business model, including governance, R&D, pricing and compliance. The collaborative engagement covers the 19 listed companies in the 2021 Access to Medicine Index. These companies together account for approximately 60-70% of global pharmaceutical revenues.

Expanding access to medicine will help pharma companies enhance shareholder value in several ways:

  • Unlock growth potential in emerging markets by reaching new populations.
  • Mitigate the risk of unethical conduct.
  • Enhance corporate reputations.
  • Contribute to the creation of healthy societies.
