Introduction Please give a general description and introduction to your organization. Celgene is a multinational biopharmaceutical company committed to improving the lives of patients worldwide. At Celgene, we seek to deliver truly innovative and life-changing therapies for our patients, our healthcare system, our society and our economy. Our mission as a company is to build a major global biopharmaceutical corporation while focusing on the discovery, the development, and the commercialization disease-altering medical innovation that may help patients live longer lives, to reduce the burden on healthcare and grow our economy. There are more than 300 clinical trials at major medical centers using compounds from Celgene. Investigational compounds are being studied for patients with incurable hematological and solid tumor cancers, including multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic lymphocyte leukemia (CLL), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), myelofibrosis, small cell lung cancer and prostate cancer as well as immunological diseases such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and Bechet’s disease. As committed as we are to clinical accomplishment, we are equally committed to patient support, which is a guiding principle at Celgene. We believe all who can benefit from our discoveries should have the opportunity to do so. Celgene puts patients first with industry-leading programs that provide information, for patient support and, to the maximum extent possible, safe access to our innovative therapies.

Exclusions Are there any geographies, facilities or types of water inputs/outputs within this boundary which are not included in your disclosure? Yes
W0.4a
List of Exclusions Please report the exclusions in the following table
Exclusion
Please explain why you have made the exclusion
Zofingen, Switzerland
Celgene has “purchased” dedicated floor space for manufacturing within a larger facility; however, Celgene cannot sell this space to a third party, and all building utilities are common with that of the owner of the building; as a result, this space has been excluded from the inventory boundary
Melrose Park, IL, USA
This facility was considered within Celgene’s organizational boundary, but were not included in the GHG inventory because there were limited data available and the future operation of the facilities was unknown at the time of acquisition

years
Celgene has not performed a thorough evaluation of how water quality and quantity could affect the growth of the company to date. This has not occurred due to our expansions occurring in geographical areas where water scarcity has not been shown to be a serious business-related risk. Any growth of the company, in particular expansion/additions of facilities, do include water risk analysis and purchasing strategies to ensure both quality and quantity needs are met to the best possible standard.

This outdated system utilized old equipment and inefficient means to treat incoming city water and prepare it for use in our critical utility systems. As part of this project, a new Siemens DI water system was installed and validated. This new system utilizes a compact skid design and performs all of the same functions with less water waste and chemical treatment. Best of all, this system uses a recirculation feature that saves a significant amount of water when the unit is idle.

W8.1c
Please explain why you do not have any water-related targets or goals and discuss any plans to develop these in the future There are no water-related targets or goals for the company because of Celgene’s expected continuous growth of the next coming years. Determining and setting an absolute or intensity target (or targets) could present a misrepresentation of the growth and performance of the company over the next 5-10 years. It is anticipated that water withdrawal and discharge levels will continue toward stabilization or improved reductions.
