Environmental Stewardship

Our targets and the work to reduce GHG emissions in our own operations and external supply chain aim to reduce impact on and from climate change to further support the health of those we serve and build more resilient operations. Our work to build readiness is based, in part, on our most recent climate scenario analysis. Our updated climate scenario analysis from 2024 reconfirmed that Viatris understands its key risks and has implemented relevant plans to manage risks and opportunities related to the transition toward a low-carbon economy. These existing areas of focus are relevant to building more resilient operations and include protecting and enabling stable access to water and maintaining operations during extreme weather events. Key pillars in our strategy to reduce GHG emissions and make progress on the SBTi targets are:

• increasing renewable energy usage;
• implementing energy-efficiency projects and technologies;
• using alternative fuels; and
• leveraging infrastructure upgrades and utility replacement projects.

We have reported on our climate program since 2017 to the CDP, a global nonprofit disclosure system for environmental issues. For more details on our climate change and water security programs please see our survey responses below.

We are working to reduce carbon emissions across our supply chain. We work across all three of our freight transportation modes - road, ocean and air - to that end. Supply reliability and transport efficiency are primary objectives. We focus on full truck loads and double stacking of pallets where possible and partner with our freight partners to move from dedicated containers to sharing capacity with other companies to better utilize space across the industry. Full truck loads are considered the most efficient mode of transit.

In 2025, we extended our Mode of Transportation (MOT) Optimization model to more sites. We decreased use of air over the prior year from 52% to 45%, while increasing our use of sea freight over the same time period, to 55% from 48%. Nearly all of our customers now have a default of sea freight on their profiles, and we have made progress on increasing full truckload shipping to optimize the transportation of products.

As Viatris, we are compliant with the AMRIA Antibiotic Manufacturing Standard for our own operations and committed to implementing it across our external supply chain. All applicable Viatris manufacturing locations with antibiotic production have been internally assessed and adhere to the AMRIA Antibiotic Manufacturing Standard, including meeting the PNEC (RQ<1) as calculated by mass balance.

Milestone Certification for Reducing the Risk of AMR in Manufacturing

Five sites in Viatris’ network in Australia, Germany, India and Ireland, have earned the British Standards Institute (BSI) Kitemark Certification under the AMRIA Manufacturing Standard for meeting standards aimed at minimizing the environmental risk of AMR. The Antibiotic Manufacturing Standard, published by AMRIA and facilitated by BSI Standards Limited (BSI), provides clear guidance to manufacturers in the global antibiotic supply chain to ensure that their antibiotics are made responsibly, helping to minimize the risk of AMR in the environment. These certifications provide independent, third-party assurance and demonstrate that antibiotic residue emissions from solid and liquid waste streams are effectively controlled during manufacturing.
