Abbott is responding to the challenges of water scarcity and climate change throughout the world. Here in India, supporting a fast-growing economy and a population of 1.2 billion exacts a heavy toll on natural resources and the environment. Water, waste, climate change, ground and air pollution are major concerns.

Safeguarding the Environment is about minimizing our global environmental impacts - from the sourcing of raw materials and the manufacture and distribution of our products to the use and disposal of our products by consumers and health care practitioners. We focus on three environmental priorities: climate change, water usage and product stewardship.
