Reporting and Disclosure Ansell understands that investor expectations around reporting and disclosure of material issues continue to evolve.
We are committed to continuous review and improvement of our own disclosure practices to ensure we continue to meet emerging expectations.
To that end, in FYfor reporting against the GRI Standards, which we plan to complete for our FY20 results.
As detailed through-out this report, we are also elevating our ambition on the assessment and disclosure in specific areas of regulatory and investor interest, such as modern slavery and climate-related financial risks.
Responsibility Report We are thankful to our colleagues across the company whose efforts carried us this far on our responsibility journey.
The global responsibility goals are a challenging but attainable next step.
We remain committed to being transparent and sharing our progress along the way.
This is an important new stage for our company and we welcome your feedback as we strive to advance our new goals.
As we publish this report in April continues to face the COVID-19 pandemic — a public health crisis unlike any experienced in our lifetimes.
We are proud that Regeneron has risen to this challenge with characteristic drive and scientific innovation.
We are broadly applying the resources and talent within our company to identify potentially effective therapies and make them available, while at the same time rallying to support the needs of our communities, particularly in our home state of New York.
Our science-driven culture and commitment to ‘Doing Well by Doing Good’ has inspired our company for over years — and continues to inspire our fight against COVID19.
We are proud that these attributes have always defined how we run our business and underpin our responsibility focus areas: 1.
Build sustainable communities In our approach to responsibility.
We discovered and developed a potential treatment for Ebola virus infection, a major public health advance with important implications for current and future outbreaks.
We are now applying the same core technologies to our COVID-development efforts.
We also continued to make significant investments to attract and retain top talent and sustain our culture of integrity.
In addition to our ongoing $Science Talent Search, the nation’s oldest and most prestigious high school science competition, we opened a new experiential program for middle- and high-school students, the Regeneron DNA Learning Center, a program of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
We also became the new title sponsors of the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), the world’s largest pre-college science and engineering competition.
Looking to the future, in responsibility goals, which span across our three strategic focus areas.
We are pleased to share these goals publicly for the first time in this Report.
The goals are accompanied by ambitious environmental targets.
We are challenging ourselves to establish sciencebased targets for Scope by 2023 and to be 50 percent renewable by 2025 and 100 percent renewable by 2035.
In addition, the targets formalize our ambition to divert from landfill.
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD LEONARD S. SCHLEIFER, M.D., PH.D.
Regeneron is a great place to work in our annual engagement survey out of 1.
Regeneron is a leading biotechnology company that invents life-transforming medicines for people with serious diseases.
Founded and led for over ability to repeatedly and consistently translate science into medicine has led to seven U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatments and numerous product candidates in clinical development, all of which were homegrown in our laboratories.
Our medicines and pipeline are designed to help patients with eye diseases, allergic and inflammatory diseases, cancer, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, pain, infectious diseases and rare diseases.
Regeneron is accelerating and improving the traditional drug development process through our proprietary VelociSuite® technologies, such as VelocImmune® which uses unique genetically-humanized mice to produce optimized fully-human antibodies and bispecific antibodies, and through ambitious research initiatives such as the Regeneron Genetics Center, which is conducting one of the largest genetics sequencing efforts in the world.

In the second quarter of certain reimbursements and other payments for products developed and commercialized with collaborators.
These changes were made effective January 1, 2020 and have also been applied retrospectively.
There is no impact from these changes to net income or net income per share.
We continue to operate Regeneron with the long-term outlook required to turn rigorous scientific research into important new medicines.
We believe long-term leadership provides continuity and value to an innovative business.
We have been led for three decades by our founders, Len Schleifer and George Yancopoulos, who have established a consistent vision and culture that sets us apart.
Our business is built on our deep scientific and technological capabilities, which drive our research and development, clinical and production efforts.
Running the business responsibly has always been at the heart of how we operate, and it impacts every part of our business, from diseases we choose to research to how we price our medicines.
We are motivated by our mission of repeatedly bringing important new medicines to people living with serious disease.
Our investments and unique proprietary technologies are designed to accelerate the average time from discovery to drug approval and improve success rates so that we can reach patients faster.
We continue to reinvest a significant portion of revenue — an average of $over the past three years — back into our R&D efforts.
We are proud that as a result of this focus on R&D, all of our approved medicines and all the product candidates in our clinical pipeline were homegrown in our own labs.
Production and supply With facilities in Rensselaer, New York and Limerick, Ireland, our award-winning Industrial Operations and Product Supply (IOPS) team is responsible for the manufacturing, distribution and quality assurance of a wide range of our biologic medicines, including our approved antibodies and those involved in clinical studies.
Commercialization and access Our medicines only matter if patients in need can access and afford them.
We seek input from a variety of stakeholders to determine fair pricing, and work with insurers and physicians to improve treatment access.
We provide patient support services to help patients through their treatment journey and support organizations that help people touched by serious diseases.
Collaborations Collaborations play a vital role in delivering on our mission to use innovative science to bring new medicines to people with serious diseases.
Our collaborations with government entities and large pharmaceutical companies such as Bayer, Teva and Sanofi support our ability to develop our medicines globally and expand access for patients around the world.
We also pursue collaborations with academic institutions and emerging biopharma companies to continue pushing our science and technological capabilities to the absolute bleeding edge of biomedical innovation.
Additionally, we share Regeneron’s science and technologies with collaborators like Decibel, Bluebird and Zoetis so that we can extend our impact to many more fields of medicine than we could reach on our own.
