43、takeholders.We take a thoughtful approach to integration to bring the best of both organizations together and support a smooth transition for all.In 2022,we integrated PPD,which we acquired in 2021,adding clinical research services to our portfolio.By enabling our pharma and biotech customers to acc

44、elerate innovation and increase productivity within the drug development process,we can help them reduce the time and cost of bringing life-changing medicines to patients who need them.Our approach to integration always starts with people.Based on our accumulated experiences,we have an integration p

45、laybook that sets forth our guiding principles:engage our new colleagues in the success of the combined companies,treat people fairly and with respect,and minimize distractions so colleagues can focus on their critical work and serve our customers.For us,mergers and acquisitions(M&A)do not end at in

46、tegrationwe continue to invest in new businesses to drive growth,advance innovation,and create career opportunities to develop and retain our talented colleagues.Less than one year after acquiring PPD,we opened a new state-of-the-art bioanalytical lab in Richmond,Virginia,to support the increasing d

47、emand for consistent,high-quality laboratory services that will accelerate drug development.This facility expands our clinical research operations in the city to 350,000 square feet,making it one of the largest laboratories of its kind in the world.And over the coming three years,we will continue to

48、 invest in the local economy,adding at least 500 new jobs to the team of 1,200 clinical research colleagues we currently employ in Richmond.Our comprehensive integration approach,like all other aspects of how we run our business,is powered by our Practical Process Improvement(PPI)Business System,a d

49、eeply ingrained philosophy of operational excellence and continuous improvement.We regularly assess how acquired businesses are performing in terms of value creation,accelerated revenue and cost synergies,and colleague sentiment and engagement.These reviews are conducted over the short and long term

59、ver new technologies and services,we help our customers break new ground in their important work.This includes helping them accelerate research so that they can bring life-changing therapies to patients.Today,with rapid advancements in science and technology,there has never been more hope for tackli

60、ng diseases that were once difficult or impossible to treat.Thermo Fisher is proud to be part of this evolution that will greatly benefit society.Helping doctors identify the best treatmentIn the fight against cancer,the tide is turning because there are many promising new therapies emerging based o

61、n the genetic makeup of a persons specific cancer type.Determining the best treatment for a patient based on their individual cancer can make a significant difference in the outcome for that patient.Thats why the development of companion diagnostics with pharma and biotech partners is so groundbreak

62、ingand used increasingly in oncology to provide a personalized approach to treatment.In the past,treatment selection has often been based on clinical best practices for first-line treatment.A doctor might have to try numerous treatment options,with varying efficacy,for their patient and sometimes th

63、e answer comes too late.But today,with advancements in genomic testing technology,an individuals cancer can be analyzed at the molecular level so the patient can be matched to the best treatment option right away.Thats the promise of precision medicine and thats where our companion diagnostics come

64、in.Companion diagnostics provide information that is essential for the safe and effective use of a corresponding drug or biological product.They help healthcare professionals determine whether a particular therapeutic may yield a better outcome for an individual patient based on their cancers genomi

65、c profile,and they can even help doctors match patients to targeted therapies that are sometimes still in clinical trials.In one example,Thermo Fisher is expanding on its ongoing collaboration with AstraZeneca to develop a solid tissue and blood-based companion diagnostic test that seeks to identify

66、 patients with non-small cell lung cancer who may be eligible for treatment with TAGRISSO tablets(osimertinib).The collaboration will leverage our Ion Torrent Oncomine Dx Express Test and our Ion Torrent Genexus Dx System3 to identify tumors that exhibit specific mutations that are indicators for tr

67、eatment with TAGRISSO.Time is of the essence for patients with non-small cell lung cancer,which is often not detected until it is Our partnership with AstraZeneca will help bring targeted oncology treatments to more patients in need of new care options.By leveraging the Genexus Dx Systems unpreceden

68、ted turnaround time,we can help make molecular testing results more readily available to inform vital treatment decisions and get patients on the right treatment,right away.Garret Hampton President of Clinical Next-Generation Sequencing and Oncology at Thermo Fisher Scientificadvanced and has spread

69、 to other parts of the body.For most of these patients,conventional therapies dont always have the desired efficacy.Finding an appropriate targeted therapy can be critical,but sequencing results have historically taken weeks.Together,the Ion Torrent Oncomine Dx Express Test and Ion Torrent Genexus D

70、x System can provide a fully integrated,next-generation sequencing solution that delivers results in as little as 24 hours.2022 Corporate Social Responsibility R a global leader in higher education,collaborative research and pioneering innovation,UC San Diego has a deeply embedded culture of advanci

72、alifornia San DiegoAccelerating research,innovation andequityIn 2022,Thermo Fisher and the University of California(UC)San Diego launched a strategic partnership that will have a positive impact on society.The 10-year relationship is the first of its kind in the life sciences space for both Thermo F

73、isher and the university,and focuses on four key objectives:Establishing a“Technology Sandbox”Collaborating on research Creating a pipeline of diverse talent Developing more sustainable operationsThe Technology Sandbox is a state-of-the-art facility being developed at UC San Diego to expand access t

74、o cutting-edge technologies and expertise and accelerate collaboration,discovery and workforce development.It will serve both students and alumni and is designed to drive innovation in emerging areas of science.Thermo Fisher is providing the instruments for the Technology Sandbox,including cryo-elec

75、tron microscopy,mass spectrometry and genetic and cell analysis instruments,as well as providing financial support for instrument training.In turn,students and researchers at the university will provide feedback and insights as they use these instruments,which will help us continue to improve our pr

76、oducts and further advance technological innovation to better serve our customers.As part of the relationship,we will provide support for various research initiatives and collaborate with UC SanDiego on STEM(science,technology,engineering and math)and community outreach programs and career mentorshi

77、p.This includes continuing an internship program that began in 2021 to build a pipeline of diverse talent for both the Company and the university.Held at our Carlsbad,California site,the six-month program offers UC San Diego students an immersive,hands-on work experience using our technologies.Stude

78、nts gain skills in advanced research methods and applied scientific techniques.Theprogram includes structured mentoring and professional development opportunities,preparing students to become the scientists of tomorrow.In addition,both organizations are working together to advance their mutual susta

79、inability goalsespecially in developing a more sustainable supply chain for research supplies.One example is a pilot program already launched at the university,which leverages the Thermo Scientific ART Pipette Tips recycling program.Through this program,pipette tips,boxes and associated plastic pack

80、aging are recycled rather than entering the waste stream.With the successful completion of this pilot program,Thermo Fisher and UC San Diego are now developing a process to expand the recycling program campus wide and explore other sustainable end-of-life solutions for single-use lab plastics.112022

119、rtance to our business success and our stakeholders,using direct stakeholder feedback to address the latter.Our CSR approach includes regularly refreshing our full materiality assessment.Interim analyses allow us to more actively monitor the dynamic global landscape for real-time insights.In 2022,we

120、 initiated an interim materiality assessment leveraging an intelligence solution that enabled a data-driven review of our ESG priorities,risks,impacts,materiality,and benchmarking.The results of our 2022 assessment indicated that the six ESG issues prioritized through our last materiality assessment

121、 continue to be relevant topics for Thermo Fisher.They include the following:innovation,product safety and quality(Operations),diversity and inclusion(Colleagues),talent management(Colleagues),community engagement and development(Communities),and climate change(Environment).The analysis also uncover

122、ed early insights on evolving markets,regulations,and societal and environmental expectationsdetails that will inform our next comprehensive materiality assessment and help shape the future direction of our CSR strategy,commitments and impact.Sustainable financeThermo Fisher designed our Sustainable

123、 Financing Framework to align our sustainability priorities with our funding needs.Our framework is consistent with the International Capital Markets Association(ICMA)2021 Green Bond Principles and the 2021 Social Bond Principles and is based on four core components:use of proceeds,project evaluatio

124、n and selection,management of proceeds,and reporting.The net proceeds raised from the sale of any sustainable financing instrument issuances must align with our framework and be used to finance and/or refinance,in whole or in part,one or more eligible projects subject to ICMAs principles.On November

125、 18,2021,we issued a 550 million sustainability bond in line with our Sustainable Financing Framework.Throughout 2022,we fully allocated the net proceeds of the sustainability bond to social projects,specifically those eligible under the criteria for the COVID-19 response category.Our Sustainability

276、ive and equitable pay for their contributions to Thermo Fisher.In 2021,we engaged a third-party firm to launch our first pay equity study,which was completed in 2022.We analyzed data in two ways to gain balanced insights for furthering our D&I progress.By voluntarily increasing the transparency of t

277、hese disclosures,we are reinforcing our commitment to stakeholders and the continuous improvement of our D&Iinitiatives.Adjusted pay equity analysis A pay equity audit of our US non-executive workforce compared the pay of colleague groups who do similar work.The analysis was adjusted by considering

278、factors that are known to influence total pay,such as job title,performance and tenure.By reviewing our US non-executive workforce,the analysis included 99%of our US colleague population and 42%of our global population.Our pay equity analysis27 showed that non-executive colleagues who are women earn

279、ed 98%of the total pay earned by men in similar roles.Racially and ethnically diverse colleagues earned 99%of the total pay earned by White/Caucasian colleagues in similar roles.These first-time results reflect the rigor of our compensation policies and processes,and the results of the analysis will

280、 inform our work going forward.Unadjusted median pay analysis Our unadjusted median pay analysis considered colleague representation across the US and is not affected by other job-related influences.The 2021 analysis gathered total pay amounts for all colleagues,including executives,and identified t

288、ed experiences of our colleagues,particularly those from diverse backgrounds.These connections help to create more genuine and authentic advocacy on behalf of our colleagues.In 2022,we launched a D&I learning channel and developed an educational journey to activate allyship by raising awareness of t

289、he difference between equality and equity.Colleagues explored how earned and unearned advantages impact access and opportunities and were encouraged to proactively share their experiences with their peers.We provided specific opportunities for colleagues to become allies and to understand how being
