The past year was one of monumental impact and change for Moderna. In the fight against the pandemic, the Moderna team showed relentlessness under tight timelines and COVID-related challenges, while advancing its COVID-19 vaccine and broad pipeline of mRNA medicines, always with a deep sense of purpose and care for patients, employees, the environment, and the community. With the publication of its very first Environmental, Social and Governance Report, Moderna reflects on how the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated inequalities around the world, the urgent need to increase access to quality healthcare and medicines, to close the opportunity gap, particularly in underserved communities, and to save the planet from the devastating impacts of climate change.
