About Bristol-Myers Squibb World Wide Medicines Group

Bristol-Myers Squibb is a leading global diversified health and personal care products company with annual sales in excess of $20 billion (1999). Headquartered in New York City, the company employs 54,000 people worldwide. More than 70 percent of company sales are in pharmaceuticals and consumer medicines. Other core businesses include beauty care, nutritional products and medical devices. Nearly 40 percent of company sales come from outside the United States.
Drawing on substantial investments in research and development and on many licensing and alliance agreements, Bristol-Myers Squibb has become a global leader in several key therapeutic areas. The company is the number one provider of cancer medicines worldwide, and also develops important treatments for Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases, depression, anxiety and pain. Expenditures on research and development surpassed $1.8 billion in 1999, and continue to grow at a double-digit rate. More than 4,500 people are involved in R&D in the company’s Pharmaceutical Research Institute facilities in the U.S. and abroad.
Reflecting the company’s broad commitment to extending and enhancing human life, Bristol-Myers Squibb supports a number of philanthropic projects, including “Secure the Future”, a $100 million initiative to fight HIV/AIDS among women and children in southern Africa. In addition, the company provided $100 million in cash and product donations in 1999 to help promote research and education, as well as strengthen communities and rebuild societies after natural disasters.
