Viatris Pharmaceutical Company Limited

Information about the Company
Viatris is a global healthcare company empowering people worldwide to live healthier at every stage of life. It provides access to medicines, advances sustainable operations, develops innovative solutions, and leverages its collective expertise to connect more people to more products and services through its one-of-a-kind Global Healthcare Gateway®.

Formed in November 2020, Viatris brings together scientific, manufacturing, and distribution expertise with proven regulatory, medical, and commercial capabilities to deliver high-quality medicines to patients in more than 165 countries and territories. Viatris’ portfolio comprises more than 1,400 approved molecules across a wide range of therapeutic areas. Viatris is headquartered in the U.S., with global centers in Pittsburgh, Shanghai, and Hyderabad, India; it has approximately 37,000 colleagues globally and around 200 in Taiwan.

Corporate Culture & Company Activities
Viatris stands out for its commitment to “The Viatris Way”, serving its patients with the highest standards of quality, ethics, compliance, integrity, and sustainability. There are four expectations for people in the company: “Own It” encourages responsibility and courage, “Be Real” values authenticity and practicality, “Stay Agile” embraces diverse viewpoints and bold ideas, and “Take Pride” signifies shared passion and mission.

Corporate social responsibility in Viatris is shown in its commitment to sustainability and strives to make a positive impact through leadership, cross-functional relationships, and transparent reporting. By partnering with stakeholders throughout the globe, Viatris addresses pressing health, environmental, and social issues and works to advance responsible and sustainable operations.

Key CSR areas include access and global health while nurturing a safe, positive, and productive work environment that fosters inclusion, integrity, dignity, and mutual respect for colleagues. Viatris upholds environmental stewardship by promoting environmentally sustainable operations to minimize environmental impact. The company also supports advocacy partnerships, education, health, and disease awareness.

In Taiwan, Viatris’ achievements include the donation of anaphylactic shock medication to remote regions, the supply of front-line medical staff with epidemic prevention essentials during the Covid-19 breakout period, and the advancement of green practices in the company. The company also orchestrated “Caring for the Earth” initiatives such as cleaning beaches and rivers, championed carbon reduction and charity donations through walking campaigns (walking for health and walking for charity), and elevated public health awareness via over 350 annual education events.
Achievements and Impact
Viatris is committed to strong corporate governance, ensuring financial transparency, competitive compensation, and a positive work environment that adheres closely to regulations.

In terms of talent development, the company provides various training, learning, and development programs to support colleagues to outperform in their jobs. Budgets are also allocated to sponsor colleagues’ self-learning, while online courses are offered for colleagues to unleash their curiosity and learn about topics within and beyond their areas of expertise.

Viatris’ talent development program is more than just cultivating job-specific skills. The company arranges short-term secondments and projects for colleagues to gain new abilities and accumulate a wider range of work experience and expertise, enabling them to get a broader perspective of the organization. Due to this, from inception to August 2023, the planned workforce has expanded by 30%.

Viatris Taiwan also collaborates actively with the government and hospitals, importing medicines via special air shipments to ensure availability and affordability. Viatris’ contributions span governance, sustainability, and public health, leaving a lasting impact on Taiwan’s medical landscape.

Future Direction
Viatris’ extensive and diverse pipeline of medicines is set to undergo further strengthening and refinement. The strategies include prioritizing pipeline investments to maintain complexity in its portfolio and leverage its capabilities to develop more complex and novel products for patients. The company can then make improvements to existing products and expand formulations to make its products more widely available to those who may not have previously had access.

Viatris’ forward-looking vision positions it to seize growth opportunities, benefiting stakeholders and patients. The company’s strategy involves developing a pipeline centered on addressing treatment gaps with complex solutions, while also investing in the management of key products in the current portfolio for different regions.
