TEL AVIV, 2 June, 2022, (BUSINESS WIRE):

Global women’s health company, Organon (NYSE: OGN), which employs 9,300 people globally, including 18 in its operations across Israel today announced the publication of its inaugural Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report for 2021. The ESG report introduces the company’s ESG platform, known as Her Promise, and details how the company is working to help women and girls achieve the full potential of their promise through better health. The publication of the ESG Report together with the launch of Her Promise coincides with Organon’s first anniversary and reflects the company’s vision to create a better and healthier every day for every woman around the world.

As a global women’s health company, Organon is well positioned to help address several current and growing women’s health challenges. For example, nearly half of all pregnancies worldwide – about 121 million in total – are unintended. According to a 2019 study, an estimated 218 million women and girls (ages 15-49) in low-and-middle income countries had an unmet need for modern contraception.

Through Her Promise, Organon is making focused investments and forming strategic partnerships with the goal of introducing and expanding access to health solutions that improve women’s health and advance gender equity. As a company investing in innovations to improve women’s health, Organon also recognises its responsibility to address this within its own global community. Organon recently introduced two new workplace policies across its offices in the UK, Northern Europe and Israel, to support employees experiencing menopause or pregnancy loss, whether due to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, abortion or still birth, aiming to create a culture of openness and visibility around these life events which impact so many and yet are still often endured in silence.

"In just one year, Organon has made considerable progress in addressing gender-related disparities in health by listening to women and investing in areas where high unmet needs exist. Since our launch, we have focused on treatment gaps that need to be addressed and will continue to strive to deliver innovation, improve access and expand choice for treatments areas that uniquely or disproportionately affect women," says Kevin Ali, Organon’s Chief Executive Officer. "The goals stated in our first ESG Report create a roadmap for the future of how we will continue to propel forward and partner to transform the current women’s health environment."

Simon Nicholson, Managing Director for Organon across Northern Europe, the UK and Israel adds: "Organon launched a year ago with a core mission to improve women’s health. We set out with a simple commitment to listen, and to use our understanding to address improving women’s health outcomes across their full life course. We are committed to supporting and improving their health, not just through our products, but by shining a light on those issues which are experienced by so many, but which largely remain taboo. I am proud of the great strides Organon has taken in its first 12 months. We recognise too, that to achieve our goal, we need to start by supporting the health and wellbeing of our own workforce. That’s why I am proud Organon recently implemented workplace policies across our offices in the UK, Ireland, Northern Europe and Israel dedicated to supporting staff experiencing pregnancy loss or the menopause. Looking at the year ahead, we will continue to tackle the challenges that lie at the heart of improving health outcomes for women and it is a privilege to see this getting underway with the launch of our inaugural Environmental, Social, and Governance Strategy."

On its one-year anniversary, Organon is making the following goals to achieve Her Promise:

• Toimprove access to low-cost contraceptives in 69 of the world’s leastdeveloped countries. Through the Organon Her PromiseAccess Initiative, Organon is working with global organizations toprovide family planning information, education and access to low-costcontraceptive options. Organon’s goal is to provide 100 million girls andwomen in low- and middle-income countries with affordable access tocontraceptive options by 2030.
• Toredefine and harness innovation in women’s health. Organon willdedicate a majority of its pre-clinical and clinical development activitytoward the unmet health needs of women. Organon has already begun withdevelopment activities in high unmet need areas including postpartumhemorrhage, endometriosis, and pre-term labor.
• Expandaccess to treatment options that improve her health and help secure herpromise. Workingtogether with global partners, Organon plans to expand access to treatmentoptions for post-partum hemorrhage in women, in both developed anddeveloping markets. We will also seek to help address affordability offertility treatments and access to education to decrease the unmet medicalneed in fertility.
• Achievebalanced gender representation through all levels of Organon globally by 2030and pay equity. Organon has had a strong start by launching with aBoard of Directors that consists of accomplished individuals withexceptional skills and expertise, and also represents gender and racialdiversity. Currently, Organon’s Board is the most diverse healthcare boardon the S&P 500.
• Aimto support the transition to a low carbon economy, with an ambition toachieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions. We also aimto integrate water stewardship and circular economy principles into ourbusiness models. The report details concrete short- and mid-term actionswe will take to meet these long-term ambitions.

In addition, as part of its commitment to advancing gender equity through Her Promise, Organon has provided US $1.4M to Women Deliver to fund its Young Leaders Program and other advocacy work, as well as support the Women Deliver 2023 Conference (WD2023). The funding will help Young Leaders across the world to achieve their advocacy goals in gender equality and health through financial resources, mentorship, and technical assistance.

"The Board is committed to achieving both Organon’s business goals as well as contributing to societal goals, and to continuing to drive the company’s ESG strategy," says Carrie Cox, Board Chairman.
