LILLY SA - page 2

Lilly was founded in 1876 by Colonel Eli Lilly, a man dedicated to creating high-quality medicines that met real needs in an era of unreliable elixirs sold by shady characters. His charge to the generations of employees who followed him was, "Take what you find here and make it better and better."

More than 145 years later, we remain committed to his vision through every aspect of our business and the people we serve, from those who take our medicines to the healthcare professionals, employees and communities in which we live.

We operate in compliance with all applicable laws and are fair in our dealings with customers, employees, shareholders, partners, suppliers, competitors and the community.

We strive for pharmaceutical innovation, provide high quality products and strive to deliver superior business results.

We maintain an environment built on mutual respect, openness and individual integrity. This includes our concern for all people who touch or are touched by our company: customers, employees, shareholders, partners, suppliers and communities.
