Corporate Responsibility

We strive to operate with an eye toward corporate responsibility, environmental sustainability, and solid governance. These practices have long been embedded into our business at all levels. We have a strong tone at the top, with leaders who care deeply about improving the lives of patients, empowering our people, and making our planet and the communities in which we live and work better. We are guided by doing the right thing, while also relentlessly pushing to always do better.


We are the first-ever public biotech company organized as a public benefit corporation. Our public benefit purpose is to provide a brighter future for patients through (a) the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies; and (b) technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs.

Our Corporate Responsibility and Public Benefit Reports reference the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD):

Our Approach

Our Patients

Since our inception, we have been committed to our patients and their families. Our medicines treat life-threatening conditions that are extremely difficult to manage, with a tremendous impact on quality of life for patients and their loved ones. At United Therapeutics, we not only provide treatments, but we strive to ensure that patients have the support, education, and assistance they need when using our therapies to manage their disease.

Our People

We are proud of our employees, whom we call “Unitherians.” Without their hard work and ingenuity, none of our success would be possible, and none of our goals would be achievable. We strive to hire exceptionally smart people who are passionately committed to our goals and who will thrive in our unique culture.

Humankind

United Therapeutics is in the business of enhancing lives, and that is not limited to our focus on patients. We also put innovative efforts into mitigating our impact on the planet and stewarding the resources we use to do our work. This focus has been an important part of our strategy for over a decade. The cornerstone of our commitment to our planet is demonstrated in the industry-leading design and construction of our net zero facilities.
