We're a medicine company that's been turning science into healing for nearly 150 years. Founded in 1876 by Colonel Eli Lilly in Indianapolis, Indiana, we started with a simple mission: create high-quality medicines that meet real needs. Today, our team of about 48,000 people around the world continues that work, combining scientific rigor with genuine care for the patients we serve. We're not just in the business of making medicines—we're committed to growing our business in ways that actually benefit people and society.
Every day, we focus on discovering and developing treatments that can make a meaningful difference in people's lives. From diabetes care to obesity treatments and beyond, we work across many therapeutic areas because we know health challenges are complex. But we also know that beyond the science, real impact comes from listening to patients, understanding their needs, and staying true to our founding commitment to quality and integrity. That's what drives us forward.
