CEO perspective

For more than 100 years, Cencora has been at the forefront of healthcare delivery. We’ve built a strong foundation for distributing lifesaving and life-preserving pharmaceutical care around the world while also discovering opportunities and solutions that help our provider and manufacturer customers constantly improve. What drives our 46,000 team members is our purpose of being united in our responsibility to create healthier futures. We recognize this responsibility extends into how we proactively address the environmental and social issues affecting our employees, customers, communities, and the planet.  

Over the past decade, my predecessor, Steve Collis, enhanced our investment in corporate responsibility and grew our operations in a sustainable and ethical way. As I lead Cencora through this next chapter, I am committed to upholding the highest standards of corporate responsibility performance for our organization. We’ll continue to focus our efforts on our enterprise strategy, which is influenced by corporate responsibility best practices and external frameworks we’ve intentionally chosen to align to. Not only because it’s standard in this age of business, but because it’s the right thing to do.  

These achievements would not be possible without our incredible team members who are vital in steering these efforts. We’re grateful for their hard work and dedication to our purpose. At Cencora, talent is a top priority. We continue to make enhancements that support our team members’ holistic well-being, with an eye toward remaining an employer of choice in the industry.   

While we have made significant strides, there will always be more to do. I am confident that Cencora will continue to work closely with our partners and customers to advance innovation and amplify sustainable impact that improves health access, outcomes, and our planet. I am excited about what lies ahead and how we’ll transform our communities and industry together.
