Only company of its size focused on women’s
health
Launching with a commitment to listen to women
to understand her health needs and help identify solutions that are
urgently needed
Organon (NYSE: OGN), today celebrates its launch as a global
women’s health company with employees and women from around the
world, as the Organon executive leadership team rings the opening
bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Recognizing the need to
listen to and act on women’s experiences to address the challenges
in women’s health, Organon gathered voices from around the world to
create the “Wall of Voices,” a multimedia installation outside of
the NYSE.

Organon is committed to women’s everyday health needs, with a
focus on reproductive health, health issues that are unique to
women, as well as conditions that disproportionately affect women.
The “Wall of Voices” shares powerful perspectives, voices and
images of women from around the world highlighting these health
issues and serves as a symbol of Organon’s commitment. Women
everywhere are invited to take the “microphone” to add their voice
to the digital “Wall of Voices” at HereForHerHealth.com.
“At Organon, we are here for her health. Our vision is to create
a better and healthier every day for every woman around the world.
There is no other healthcare company with our global footprint
dedicated to putting women at the center that will focus on
identifying medicines and solutions that they so urgently need,”
said Kevin Ali, Chief Executive Officer, Organon. “The time is
right for Organon to bring forward more options for women and
healthcare providers to help shape the future of women’s
health.”
Diverse Portfolio will Drive Sustainable Growth
At launch, Organon’s portfolio will consist of more than 60
medicines and products across an international footprint that
serves people in more than 140 markets, with nearly 80% of its
approximately $6.5 billion in annual revenue generated outside the
U.S. Organon believes it is well positioned for organic
low-to-mid-single digit growth from its 2021 base of business.
Organon has three core pillars that will benefit from renewed
management focus and commercial investment:
- Women’s Health: Anchored by NEXPLANON (etonogestrel
implant), a long-acting reversible contraception, along with its
contraceptive and fertility businesses and boosted by its recently
announced proposed acquisition of Alydia Health, a medical device
company focused on preventing maternal morbidity and mortality
caused by postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) or abnormal postpartum
uterine bleeding.
- Biosimilars: A key growth pillar with products available
in various parts of the world including RENFLEXIS (infliximab-abda)
and BRENZYS (etanercept) in immunology and ONTRUZANT
(trastuzumab-dttb) in oncology. Organon’s expertise is in the
commercialization of these products, bringing them to more people
around the world.
- Established Brands: 49 well-known products in the
respiratory, cardiovascular, dermatology and non-opioid pain
areas.
Women at the Center: Organon’s Approach to Innovation
Organon’s R&D philosophy is to build a business around
patient needs, with the goal of identifying and advancing
healthcare options for women that enable them to live their best
lives every day.
“For too long, for too many common conditions, such as heavy,
painful, and irregular menstrual bleeding, incontinence and
menopause and many others, women have been told to accept and
normalize these conditions as a part of life,” said Sandy Milligan,
Head of Organon Research & Development. “Organon’s mission is
to change this. We believe this approach will be very successful —
we hope to discover the ability to identify diseases earlier, the
ability to modify the course of diseases or healthcare conditions
and to ultimately, improve the quality of life for women at all
stages.”
The company’s extensive global capabilities in clinical
development and patient safety, regulatory and medical affairs make
it well-positioned to identify promising drugs, diagnostics and
devices with the greatest potential to impact women’s health.
Majority Female Board of Directors Will Guide Team of
Committed Employees
Organon believes the journey to improve women’s health is
foundational to the gender equity it wants to see in its
organization. The representation of women on the Board — comprising
70% of positions — is higher than any S&P 500 healthcare
company. Together with Organon’s employees, a global community of
approximately 9,000 strong, they are united in their drive to
better support the health of women around the globe.
A live webcast of the Opening Bell from the exchange will be
available on the NYSE website today from 9:30 a.m. EST.
