Elanco Releases 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance Report, Demonstrating Sustainability Progress in Internal Operations and Customer Collaborations

Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (NYSE:ELAN) today released its 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report highlighting enhanced governance, transparency and progress measurements.

Elanco's commitment to important ESG-related topics is demonstrated across its four interconnected Healthy Purposetm Pillars: Healthier Animals, Healthier People, Healthier Planet and Healthier Enterprise. Through numerous internal initiatives and external collaborations within each pillar, Elanco is working to positively impact global concerns such as food security and nutrition, human health and well-being, and environmental sustainability.

"Healthy animals are essential for a healthy world. This belief is embedded in our vision ? Food and Companionship Enriching Life ? and is the anchor to Elanco's approach to ESG-related matters and advancing our sustainability goals," said Jeff Simmons, President and CEO Elanco. "This year's report includes examples of our impact as a global organization. For instance, between 2020 and 2022, we've helped beef and dairy customers avoid an estimated 7.2 million metric tons of CO₂e emissions by using Rumensintm ? roughly equivalent to taking 1.6 million¹ passenger cars off the road for a year. Additionally, through multiple logistics initiatives, in 2022 we reduced transportation and distribution emissions more than 10% from the prior year."

Along with this year's report, the company introduced a collection of supporting issue briefs containing meaningful oversight and procedural disclosures for leading ESG issues and enhanced performance metrics demonstrating Elanco's ongoing commitment to transparency.

Key highlights from Elanco's 2022 ESG Report:
