Medicine Management

What we measure

Governance

A clear chain of accountability is essential to any corporate decision-making process. Board-level representation of ATM issues and having independent advisory boards focusing on ATM issues are considered best practices in this area.

ATM Management Systems

Index 2010 analyzes companies based on the clarity and comprehensiveness of their ATM management systems, whether they set specific ATM targets, and whether they periodically measure their output and performance.

Stakeholder Engagement

Under this sub-area, Index 2010 evaluates companies' efforts to engage with all relevant stakeholders, including universities, patient groups, local governments, employees, local and international NGOs, and peers in order to establish dialogue and knowledge sharing with the goal of improving ATM.
