Alnylam Named One of America's Most Responsible Companies by Newsweek
December 8, 2022
At Alnylam, we know that our work in the lab and other areas core to our business is having a positive impact on the world by helping patients live longer, fuller lives. But we also are driven, in equal parts by our long-held core values, and by the passion of our people, to make a positive impact in the communities in which we live and work that goes beyond the medicines we make. That desire has shaped our approach to corporate responsibility, the actions we take as a company and the transparency with which we report out on our efforts.
As a growing and not yet profitable company, the size of our philanthropy, volunteerism and other efforts to give back is a fraction of that of many other U.S. companies and our industry peers in biopharma, but we know that the sweat-equity, creativity and enthusiasm of our people allows us to punch far above our weight class. That's why we're so thrilled to be recognized as one of America's Most Responsible Companies for 2023 by Newsweek and research firm Statista.
This is our first time on this prestigious Newsweek list, which ranks the top 500 companies in America based on a holistic view of their corporate responsibility taking into account the three pillars of "ESG" (environment, social and corporate governance).
Being a responsible company means living our core values every day, in all that we do. We're so proud to be named one of Newsweek's Most Responsible Companies, because it is recognition of the intense focus everyone at Alnylam places on doing the right thing and making a positive impact on our world." - Dr. Yvonne Greenstreet, Alnylam CEO
According to Newsweek, the annual list "honors companies that actually mean it when they say they are serious about being good corporate citizens."
For 2023's ranking, more than 2000 companies were evaluated to establish the list's top 500 ranking. Alnylam ranked #422 overall and #37 within the "Health Care & Life Sciences" industry.
America’s Most Responsible Companies were selected based on publicly available key performance indicators (KPI) derived from published CSR Reports, Sustainability Reports, and other reports as well as an independent survey. The KPIs focused on company performance in the environmental, social, and corporate governance areas, while the independent survey asked U.S. citizens about their perception of company activities related to corporate social responsibility.
