As one of Canada’s leading innovative pharmaceutical companies, Eli Lilly Canada plays an important role in Canadian health care. There are still so many unmet medical needs today which Lilly continues to invest in through various R&D collaborations throughout Canada. Everyday when we come to work at Lilly, we’re given the opportunity to help meet those needs for the betterment of patients everywhere. It is a privilege to provide answers that matter to all Canadians.

With this privilege comes responsibility. Canadians expect that we hold ourselves to the highest standards in all areas of our business, that we behave in a manner above reproach, and that we always put patients first.

We know that our ongoing success as a company depends on maintaining our customers’ trust. I have every confidence that we’ll continue to meet and exceed our stakeholders’ expectations, because it is our actions that speak the loudest.

A quick tour of this website provides some insight into the best-in-class medicines we produce, our ongoing dedication towards patient support and our community involvement.

As a firm believer in the importance of pharmaceutical innovation — for Canada’s economy, for our health care system and most importantly, for patients — I could not be more excited about what lies ahead for Lilly Canada.

Yours truly,

Marcel Lechanteur
President and General Manager
