Amgen Named
One of “America’s
Greenest Companies”
We are proud to receive this honor from Newsweek, made possible by our team members’ dedication to build a more sustainable world for the patients we serve and communities we work and live in.
Together, we thrive.
Committing to
Environmental Sustainability
Serving patients worldwide drives all that we do. To fulfill that mission, we thrive in tackling the challenges of today and tomorrow. Sustainability being key among our focuses, it is a goal that can impact our patients, our team members, and our communities.
Across our global business, we’re making big strides in reducing our impact on the environment in multiple areas. Much of this momentum is thanks to the Amgen Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) Council, which is guided by our Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Policy.
Our ESG Council receives regular updates on our environmental performance and emerging risks, which helps track progress and adjust plans as needed to meet our 2027 environmental sustainability goals. These targets include, but are not limited to:
- Reducing water consumption by 40%.
- Achieving carbon neutrality for Amgen-owned and operated facilities and operations.
- Reducing waste disposed by 75%.
- Integrating environmental sustainability principles throughout the life cycles of our products with green packaging, green chemistry, and responsible product disposal.
Thanks to recent tech advancements, we’ve created more streamlined, efficient methods to manufacture and package medicines that also significantly reduce our facility footprint. This transition to more sustainable manufacturing, dubbed Amgen Ecovation™, paves the way to designing, developing, and building more laboratory, manufacturing, and administrative buildings while mitigating our overall environmental impact.

Sustainability at Amgen goes beyond our product packaging—it ties closely to how we work and connect each day.
