In 2025, Viatris generated a total of 37,900 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 43.54% of Viatris's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment.56.46% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2021, Viatris's total waste generation fell by 7.11%, but rose by 1.07% in 2025, potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 17.38%, yet rose by 2.68% in 2025, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.a
Overall, Viatris had improved its waste performance over time, but a recent rise in both waste output and hazardousness may reflect operational volatility or a drift from previously effective strategies.a
