Who We Are

Lilly is a leading innovation-driven pharmaceutical corporation. We are developing a growing portfolio of best-in-class, first-in-class pharmaceutical products by applying the latest research from our own worldwide laboratories, by collaborating with eminent scientific organizations, by making use of the most up-to-date technological tools and by providing exceptional service to our customers. Through these internal programs and external initiatives, we're seeking answers for some of the world's most urgent medical needs. As our products save and improve lives, they also save overall health care costs: they are often less expensive than other forms of health care, such as surgery and hospitalization.

We employ approximately 42,000 people worldwide and market our medicines in 143 countries. Lilly has major research and development facilities in nine countries and conducts clinical trials in more than 60 countries.

What We Do

Everything at Lilly begins with the unmet medical needs of people. We provide answers for these often complex, difficult problems in two ways: through the discovery and development of breakthrough medicines and through the health information we offer.

To ensure that our customers get the maximum benefits from our products, we provide important information about our medicines and the diseases they treat. In this way, we continue our company's tradition of providing exceptional customer service.

We are strengthening our ability to identify high-potential drug candidates by improving our research and development processes, investing in new research technologies and adding new scientific talent. At the same time, we have entered into dozens of research alliances worldwide to gain access to new research capabilities and additional promising compounds.

At Lilly, people are the source of all our abilities, all our successes. Our future depends on our global community of employees whose varied perspectives, experience and training fuel the creativity and the energy to pioneer pharmaceutical innovation.

As our company touches the lives of people worldwide, we recognize that we have a responsibility to be a good corporate citizen in our communities and to help preserve the environment for the generations to come.

  • Integrity that embraces the very highest standards of honesty, ethical behaviour and exemplary moral character;
  • Excellence that is reflected in our continuous search for new ways to improve the performance of our business to become the best at what we do.
