Industry Benchmarking

At Bristol-Myers Squibb, we regularly compare our performance with our peer companies as well as with companies in other industries. In October 2007, we benchmarked our performance against other major pharmaceutical companies, based on publicly available information on each company's Internet site.

The charts below summarize these data, normalized by sales to facilitate comparison of performance across companies that vary considerably in size. In each chart, "A" represents the company with the best performance for that particular indicator.

Bristol-Myers Squibb's performance, when compared to the benchmarked
companies, showed relative improvement for 2006 in the areas of
hazardous and non-hazardous waste generation.

The companies included in this review did not always include data for each of the indicators on their public website. Therefore, the number of companies shown in each chart varies depending upon the indicator being measured.

It is important to note that there are inconsistencies in the way different companies measure and report environmental performance. As our peer companies in the pharmaceutical industry report more information about their sustainability performance, we will compile that information and post it publicly on this site. We will continue to analyze this information to further improve our own performance. Please return to this site periodically to see the latest benchmarking results and to let us know how you think we are doing.
