Goals and Key Indicators
Summary of Key Performance Indicators

Unless otherwise indicated, data are from our operations worldwide. Environmental data in this table are presented in absolute terms and normalized by sales (per $1,000 worldwide sales). See the Environmental Performance section for a discussion of why Bristol-Myers Squibb normalizes data by sales.

(1) Global BMS data based on a three year rolling average.
(2) Similar pharmaceutical company data based on 2009 U.S. data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) - most recent available.
(3) Net sales and research data for the divested Mead Johnson Nutrition business are not included for 2009.
(4) Scope 1 - Direct energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from operations. See details in technical sections.
(5) Scope 2 - Indirect energy use and CO2 emissions only from purchased electricity and steam.
(6) Scope 3 - Energy use and CO2 emissions only from business air travel and US/Canada sales fleet. See details in technical sections.
(7) Energy from on site renewable sources is not factored into total energy use.

Small discrepancies in data are due to rounding.
