We are guided by a core set of values that have changed little over Alcon's history. We are committed to conducting all of our business activities to the highest ethical and legal standards and are committed to quality and continuous improvement in everything we do – from exceeding regulatory standards for sterilization in manufacturing environments to surpassing government expectations for safety and efficacy of our products.

Alcon is planning to spend approximately USD 4 billion over the next five years to drive research and new product development in eye care. As part of Novartis, Alcon also will be able to leverage the capabilities and resources of the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research (NIBR), to accelerate innovation for the eye. Our R&D organization is driven by nearly 2,000 people dedicated to research and development around the world.

We organize our manufacturing facilities along eye care product categories, with most plants primarily dedicated to manufacturing either surgical equipment and devices, pharmaceutical as well as contact lens and lens care products. Our functional division of plants reflects the unique technical skills required of associates in these two manufacturing environments as well as the differences in regulatory requirements governing the production of surgical devices and pharmaceuticals. We operate a continuous improvement program that involves activities such as quality improvements and cycle-time reductions. Alcon also makes sure to maintain Good Manufacturing Practices through year-round training of our direct labor manufacturing staff. Our professional associates are trained in various aspects of management, regulatory and technical issues through a combination of in-house seminars, local university classes and trade meetings.
