Purpose, strategy and culture

Our purpose—putting better health within reach, every day—guides every decision we make, today and tomorrow. At its heart lies a genuine commitment to accessible medicines for all. We achieve this by delivering our strategy while fostering a culture of progress and belonging, and by acting responsibly in everything we do.

Better health. Within reach. Every day.

This is our reason for existing, and the thing that drives everything we do. We aim to overcome the obstacles of geography, supply and affordability and make a real difference to the lives of people, whoever they are and wherever they may be. We can only do that if we have the right culture – and we all have a role to play in building it.

Our strategy: delivering on our purpose

Our strategy is designed to achieve consistent, profitable growth while fulfilling our mission to put better health within reach every day. We create high-quality medicines and ensure they're accessible to patients worldwide through three strategic pillars:

Strive for excellence – Maintaining the highest standards in everything we do.

Diversify and differentiate our pipeline – Building a robust portfolio of innovative treatments.

Empower people and act responsibly – Supporting our teams while upholding our commitment to ethical, sustainable practices.

One Hikma, one mission

At Hikma, we're united by a shared purpose: putting better health within reach, every day. This drives us to support each other, push boundaries, and grow our business as one team working toward our collective promise.

Our three core values:

Innovation – We embrace new perspectives and inspire each other to find better ways forward.

Caring – We build meaningful relationships grounded in understanding, fairness, and respect.

Collaboration – We never lose sight of the shared goal that unites and drives us forward.

I am wholeheartedly committed to our purpose. My vision is to reinforce a culture where everyone feels a sense of belonging, where each person can contribute meaningfully and thrive in their careers.
