OUR mission and vision
At United Therapeutics, our mission and vision are one. We use our enthusiasm, creativity, and persistence to innovate for the unmet medical needs of our patients and to benefit our other stakeholders. We are bold and unconventional. We have fun, we do good.
We are the first publicly-traded biotech or pharmaceutical company to take the form of a public benefit corporation. Our public benefit purpose is to provide a brighter future for patients through the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies; and technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs.
Corporate Responsibility
As a public benefit corporation, we are obligated to manage and report our progress toward our public benefit purpose. We pursue this purpose alongside our obligations to address the interests of our other stakeholders — employees, local communities, investors, and the greater ecosystem in which we operate. In our report, we detail our progress against our public benefit goals and objectives, aligned with our three core stakeholder groups — what we call Our Patients, Our People, and Humankind.
being a public benefit corporation
“ It’s a powerful statement to your employees, your customers, and other stakeholders to be able to say that you are legally obligated to take your public benefit purpose and the interests of your stakeholders into account.
