Abbott received the Golden Peacock Global Business Excellence Award for 2013 at the recent Global Convention on Business Excellence in Dubai.
The Golden Peacock Global Business Excellence Award was given to Abbott for its strong stakeholder engagement, a commitment to transparency, a good workplace environment, high standards of ethics and compliance for the company and its partners, and the quality of its involvement with communities. It also recognises Abbott’s broader economic, social and environmental performance.
“Abbott is committed to advancing healthcare and improving the lives of millions of patients and customers by partnering with healthcare professionals, governments, non-governmental organisations and other stakeholders,” said Bhaskar Iyer, Divisional Vice President, Established Pharmaceuticals, Abbott in India. “Being a responsible corporate citizen involves more than healthcare innovation and outreach. Good citizenship also extends to the way we run our business in a sustainable manner to benefit our many stakeholders.”
The Golden Peacock Global Business Excellence Award was created by the Institute of Directors to encourage Business Excellence achievements in both manufacturing as well as service organisations globally. This category of award recognises companies in areas such as leadership, vision, financial performance, managing risk and corporate sustainability.
