Our Credo We are responsible to the communities in which we live and work and to the world community as well. We must be good citizens – support good works and charities and bear our fair share of taxes. We must encourage civic improvements and better health and education. We must maintain in good order the property we are privileged to use, protecting the environment and natural resources. It’s Our Credo. It’s the right thing to do. It has business value.

Intelence (etravirine, TMC 125) Green Science success Increased yield and reduced the spent waste solvents; 540,000 liters/yr spent solvent elimination via: Reducing steps; increasing the use of water as solvents; decreasing the use of chlorinated solvents Expected savings of $90MM/yr 60% reduction in the use of methylene chloride in spray drying step via recycling back into the step Solvent Recycle
Green Technology: Fractionation Several technologies were evaluated including Reverse Osmosis and Fractionation to further purify polymers used as excipient in coating drug-eluting stents Dramatically increased purity of polymer while reducing the number (toluene and methanol use eliminated) and amount of solvents used 45,000 liters of solvents eliminated & saved $20,000/kg of polymer; a projected savings $2MM/yr
2008 Product Stewardship Excellence Award Winner Category: Green Chemistry Propylene Glycol Hydration Substitution Project By: Vistakon, Jacksonville • Substituted isopropyl alcohol with a propylene glycol in the lens hydration process • Up to 50 tons VOC emission source reduction per year • Up to 212,000 gallons of IPA use reduction per year • Up to 122,000 gallons overall solvent reduction per year • 8,278,000 lb reduction of waste disposal from 2007 to 2008 • Raw material cost savings of $7.7 million per year
