4 AstraZeneca Overview One of the world s leading pharmaceutical companies A 70-year track record of innovation that includes the introduction of many world-leading medicines Active in over 100 countries; corporate office in the UK; strong presence in key markets; growing presence in important emerging markets Over 65,000 employees: 51% in Europe, 32% in the Americas and 17% in Asia, Africa and Australasia 17 principal research centres in 8 countries 26 manufacturing sites in 18 countries Extensive sales and marketing networks worldwide 4 23rd June 2009

5 Meeting the Needs of Patients Our skills and resources are focused on six important areas of healthcare These include some of the world s most serious illnesses We have a broad range of medicines, including many world leaders Designed to be innovative, effective and offer added benefits such as reduced side effects or better ways of taking the treatment We also continue to explore all the ways in which our medicines can be used to get the most benefit for patients CANCER CARDIO- VASCULAR GASTRO- INTESTINAL INFECTION NEUROSCIENCE RESPIRATORY & INFLAMMATION 5 23rd June 2009

6 Our Business Environment We operate in a dynamic and rapidly changing business environment that presents both opportunities and challenges for our industry There is a growing demand for healthcare people are living longer, expanded patient populations are emerging in new markets and many diseases are still not well managed At the same time, our industry faces real challenges, including pricing pressures, higher regulatory hurdles and fierce competition The demand for healthcare will be met not only be existing therapies but also by innovation resulting from advances in both the understanding of disease and the application of new technologies 6 23rd June 2009

8 Background why measure and report? AZ Code of Conduct SHE content states We are committed to minimising any adverse environmental effects from our activities and products, while working to reduce our consumption of natural resources and otherwise operating in an environmentally sustainable manner Major reporting frameworks and Socially Responsible Investment indices driven by stakeholder expectation highlight transparency, inclusiveness, materiality and relevance as key principles Examples - Global Reporting Initiative, Greenhouse Gas Protocol, Dow Jones Sustainability Index 8 23rd June 2009

9 Background why measure and report? Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are complex molecules This complexity is mirrored by API supply chains Manufacture of these materials (intermediates and API) is unique to AZ and we are acknowledging our responsibility Changing shape of business increased outsourcing of manufacture (especially primary) so goal for future targets is to measure broader environmental footprint Demonstrate success of our SHE improvement (including bicalutamide Green Chemistry) programmes through process development F HN CN 9 23rd June 2009 O O CF 3 O S O F N N SO 2 Me N OH OH rosuvastatin O OH N S N N O OH quetiapine

23 Development projects SHE Triggers In the development of future commercial manufacturing processes the AZ SHE Triggers model is used Aims Cover long-term SHE aspects during development of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Keep SHE issues off critical path for projects Meet regulatory requirements Applies across AZ and outsourced development Important to ensure effective and comprehensive management of our environmental footprint 23 23rd June 2009

Consequence/Hazard Score against each material 4 Very High Environmental impact material (major issue, legislation will prevent use or severely restrict emission in short/medium term) 3 High environmental impact material (significant issue) 2 Medium environmental impact material 1 Low environmental impact material (relatively) Acetone Ethanolamine Diisopropylamine 2-MethylTHF Acetic Acid ,4-Dioxane Diethyl ether Acetonitrile Thionyl Chloride 1,5-Cyclooctadiene Methyl Iodide Dichloromethane Ethyl Bromoacetate Copper 1,3-Chloro-2- propanol Dimethyl Sulphate Dimethylacetamide Epichlorohydrin 26 23rd June 2009

30 SHE Triggers Working with Suppliers Based on the risk assessment and summary of environmental issues for each of the substance, actions are agreed between AZ and the supplier partner Following completion of development work supplier reports on Progress against agreed actions Basic environmental metric data 30 23rd June 2009

31 Example project Cyclohexane replaced by t-butyl acetate as solvent MTBE has been replaced with isopropyl acetate Prevent 1, 1-Bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ferrocene stoichiometry has been reduced from 0.05mol eq. to 0.025mol eq. After significant development work no suitable solvent was found to replace chlorobenzene (except fluorobenzene) but total volumes used have been reduced from 28 vol. to 6 vol. Reduction in water use from 10 vol. to 6 vol. Minimise Render harmless 31 23rd June 2009

33 Conclusions Of all of the possible range of processes, materials and services we source from external suppliers, we seem to have hit the right targets for relevance and materiality by including primary manufacture Outsourced key inters and bulk drug products are an important and increasing contribution to AZ environmental footprint For sustainable environmental performance working with supply partners is essential 33 23rd June 2009

34 Future Opportunities Integration of third party environmental performance reporting into global system Extension to other spend categories e.g. formulation and packaging Expand scope to consider other key environmental metrics e.g. water use Uniform approach to data collection across the industry through collaboration e.g. ACS GCIPR 34 23rd June 2009
