AstraZeneca is the UK’s leading biopharmaceutical company. Headquartered in Cambridge, we have grown to not only become one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, but also one of the largest companies by market capitalisation on the FTSE 100. We have new ambitions to deliver further sustained growth by 2030, but above all, we remain committed to transforming the future of healthcare by unlocking the power of what science can do for people, society and the planet. Across the UK, we are contributing to local economies by investing in science and research, providing high quality employment, and developing the next generation of talent for the life sciences sector. Most importantly, we are delivering medicines and serving patients across the country, such as those living with cancer, diabetes, and rare diseases. None of this would be possible without the world-class science that exists in Britain, with its track record of innovation, globally-leading universities, and an exceptional skills base of talented researchers. Collaboration between industry, government and the NHS can ensure that Britain’s life sciences sector thrives in the 2020s and beyond. The UK will play a vital role in delivering on AstraZeneca’s ambitions to deliver sustained industryleading growth, 20 new medicines and to halve our Scope 3 emissions across our entire value chain by 2030. This report details our impact across the UK: AstraZeneca’s contributions to the economy, our cutting-edge medical research, and our investments in sustainability, training and community initiatives. It also discusses the UK’s strengths as a destination for life sciences, as well as the challenges for the sector over the next decade.
