We're

our company. Here, you’ll find helpful information about the products
we make, the causes we support and the values we uphold.
Every
day and in many ways, the people of Bristol-Myers Squibb demonstrate
their commitment to our mission of extending and enhancing human
life. Since our company’s founding in upstate New York in 1887,
we have grown to become a global health care leader. We seek to
make a real difference in the lives of people all over the world,
by discovering, developing and providing innovative pharmaceuticals
and other health care products, as well as by supporting important
health, education and community initiatives.
Bristol-Myers
Squibb is a leading provider of medicines
to fight cancer, cardiovascular and infectious
diseases -- including HIV/AIDS -- and serious mental illness. In
our world-class research and development facilities -- located
in New Jersey, Connecticut and elsewhere around the globe --
we’re looking for new and better treatments for cancer,
diabetes, HIV/AIDS and other serious illnesses and conditions.
Augmenting our internal R&D capabilities, Bristol-Myers Squibb has an extraordinary
history of successful partnerships
to develop and deliver important new medicines to people who need
them worldwide.
Bristol-Myers
Squibb's other businesses also meet significant health needs of
people worldwide. Mead Johnson
Nutritionals, known for its Enfamil®
line of infant formula, is a leader in providing infant and child
nutrition. ConvaTec offers
high-quality ostomy and wound therapeutics products and services.
Realizing
our mission and excelling as a company require us to make every
effort to build a diverse and motivated work
force composed of leaders at all levels across the organization.
To encourage our employees to achieve their fullest potential,
we
are committed to developing their leadership and professional skills
as well as helping them maintain an appropriate balance between
their personal and professional lives. We have
been consistently honored by National
Association of Female Executives as one of the Top
30 Companies for Executive Woman; and by Working
Mother magazine as one of the 100 Best Companies for Working
Mothers.
Pursuing
our mission also means working hard to expand people’s access
to quality medicines and health care. We’re striving toward
this goal through public/private partnerships like SECURE
THE FUTURE®, our pioneering $150 million HIV/AIDS
initiative in southern and western Africa, and through programs
like the Patient
Assistance Foundation and Together
Rx Access. In addition, our company -- together with the
Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation
-- supports numerous health and education projects, and donates
our medicines and other products to people in need in the U.S.
and
abroad. In 2005, we committed more than $750 million in products
and financial support to our wide-ranging philanthropic efforts.
According to The Chronicle of Philanthropy, we are among
the top U.S. companies for corporate charitable giving. In
these and indeed in all of our company’s endeavors, we are guided
by the values expressed in the Bristol-Myers
Squibb Pledge.
