Performance Data

Biogen Idec utilizes key performance indicators (KPIs) to help measure our performance in areas core to our business. Moving forward, we will continue to review options for additional KPIs to help us advance our citizenship performance, as well as meet the expectations of our stakeholders.

The following chart showcases our performance over the past three years.

1 Given the decentralization of functional- and affiliate-specific training, we do not track all learning hours per employee. The learning hours per employee included here reflect training offered by the Leadership Development department only.   

2 In 2011, we identified an error in our formula for determining the accidents per million miles rate. As a result, in 2011, we recalculated the rates for years 2009 and 2010.

1 In 2011, we moved our environmental data to a new, more structured data tracking and collection platform and, in the process, consolidated our existing reporting platforms. As a result, we have made minor adjustments to several of our environmental data points – all changes have been captured above. 

2 Data for 2009, 2010 and 2011 represent actual figures, but the 2006 baseline data is extrapolated based on 2009 and 2010 data.

3 Data includes solid waste from our routine operations only. Waste from construction and other such contractor activities is not included.

Total Giving ($ in millions)1 13.75 37.93 291.9


1 The large increase in our 2011 giving figure compared to previous years is attributed primarily to inclusion of patient assistance contributions through our ActiveAccessTM free drug and copay assistance programs as well as donations to organizations administering patient assistance programs. In addition, to provide a comprehensive picture of our financial impact, our 2010 and 2011 giving figures also include fellowship grants awarded. Fellowship grants are not included in our 2009 figure.
