We act boldly to reduce our environmental footprint and increase transparency in our practices. Whether it’s advancing sustainable manufacturing or advocating for the communities where we work, we lead with integrity, honesty, and compassion.
Act with Accountability
We hold ourselves to high standards—not just in what we deliver, but how we deliver it. Change and innovation can be challenging, but we celebrate the wins and learn from the past. As responsible business and community stewards, we back our commitments with measurable action and progress.
Drive Operational Simplicity and Agility
We evolve with purpose. Our agility fuels innovation—from developing efficient products and processes to supporting disaster relief and investing in smart innovation, committed to doing what works best for people, for communities, and for our planet.
Defining our Culture, Living our Mission
"Throughout our transformation, Baxter’s Mission remains constant: Save and Sustain Lives. Another constant is our commitment to transparent reporting of our corporate responsibility and sustainability performance, which we have been doing for more than 30 years.
Our culture is defined by the exceptional colleagues who advance this commitment and our Mission through our uncompromising focus on patient safety and quality, ethics and compliance in everything we do, strength through inclusion and diversity, and responsible corporate citizenship."
