CEO Letter

"To be successful, we must scale sustainably so that we are considerate of the environment while also engaging with the communities in which we operate."

Alnylam continues to lead the wave of RNAi innovation that is changing medicine. I am so excited about our future and the enormous promise we hold to improve the lives of patients around the world. As we grow and progress in our quest to build the next great biotechnology company, we continue to expand our leadership and impact as a responsible corporate citizen, highlighted by our work in four key areas:

Ensuring Access to Our Medicines

Our deep commitment to patients is reflected in our Patient Access Philosophy, the set of core principles that have guided us in our efforts to discover and develop new medicines. It articulates our fundamental commitment to ensuring broad access to these medicines, improving health outcomes for patients, and increasing the value that we provide to society. Our Patient Access Philosophy has been our guide since Alnylam's earliest days. In 2024, we will relaunch our Patient Access Philosophy, retaining our committment to proactivity, collaboration and accountability, while leaning in to the responsbility we have as a biopharmaceutical company in the patient journey to innovative therapeutic options.

Investing in Our People and Culture

If we want to embrace disruption and drive innovation, we need a diverse group of people who can think critically, ask tough questions, and challenge the status quo. Our employees embody these attributes and continuously raise the bar on what we can achieve together. Alnylam is for people who want to make an impact; our team is encouraged to set big goals, advance our culture of integrity, continuously learn, and build fulfilling, long-term careers. Throughout this report, you'll see the evidence of this work in our recognition as a "Best Place to Work" by multiple sources globally, including receiving the #1 ranking for the 'Largest Employer' category from The Boston Globe for the third year in a row.

Mitigating Our Environmental Impact

To be successful, we must scale sustainably so that we are considerate of the environment while also engaging with the communities in which we operate. Throughout our manufacturing operations, we carefully consider energy, water usage, and waste disposal, and over the last five years we have established new systems to measure, assess, report on, and mitigate our greenhouse gas emissions globally. This year, we made progress by sourcing renewable energy for our Norton and Alewife facilities where we have complete operational control. This is just one step along our continued sustainability journey.

Engaging in Our Communities

As our business and therapeutic pipeline expands, we are simultaneously increasing our investment in communities. We support initiatives and programs that envision a future where health equity

is realized for all people served by our industry. At Alnylam, we are actively working to develop innovative health equity community partnerships designed to address unique societal challenges and individual needs.

In our 2023 Corporate Responsibility Report, you will see the hard work and accomplishments of teams across Alnylam this past year. We are proud to share the steps we have taken to build a healthier, more resilient path forward. In the coming years, we will continue to challenge ourselves, pioneering and pushing ahead. Advancing innovations in medicines, advocacy, and access to care that ensures global health equity is possible. I hope you will join us in creating history together.

Sincerely,

Yvonne Greenstreet, MBChB

Chief Executive Officer

Corporate Responsibility

at Alnylam

Our "Challenge Accepted" ethos at Alnylam extends beyond our therapies. It is accompanied by a responsibility to be an ethical, values-based corporate citizen, which frames our approach to Corporate Responsibility (CR) across Alnylam.

Corporate Responsibility at Alnylam centers around a global theme: "Accepting Challenges to Improve the Health of Humanity." This theme informs our business strategy and how Alnylam operates across closely interrelated pillars material to our everyday operations and external impact - Patients, Science, Employees, Communities, Planet, and Governance.

We recognize that addressing health inequities and removing barriers to medicines and healthcare is a core part of our business and is thus embedded throughout our CR initiatives. Together we can unleash the power of pioneering science, entrepreneurial ideas, and social investments to improve health outcomes for all by advancing innovations in medicines and access to care.

MATERIALITY MATRIX

Material Topics

In 2021, Alnylam completed our first multi-faceted materiality assessment to identify the topics in CR and ESG (environmental, social, governance) that aligned with our CR Pillars globally.

We also considered Alnylam's business imperatives and focus areas related to our P5X25 strategy in this process. In 2023, we revisited our materiality assessment to ensure the topics we identified in 2021 remain relevant.

As a result, we have added topics, including energy management, to our materiality matrix. In 2024 and 2025, we will prepare to meet the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and, as a part of this process, continue to refine our materiality assessment to include the principles of double materiality. Our CR Steering Committee will oversee this process and will continue to form the structure of our annual CR reporting, key performance indicators, and targets.

About This Report

Our CR Steering Committee and the CR Working Groups focused on each of our major CR pillars have overseen the creation

of our 2023 Corporate Responsibility Report. Together, these teams have set targets, reflected on previous years' targets, and enhanced our goals and key performance indicators to track our performance in Corporate Responsibility.

This report is framed around our CR pillars and the topics within those pillars identified in our 2021 materiality assessment. In 2023, Alnylam conducted a refresh of our materiality assessment to ensure these topics remained relevant to our current reporting. In 2023, we continued to prepare our report in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards: Core option and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Biotechnology

  • Pharmaceuticals Standard. The Scope 1 and 2 GHG Inventory included in this report has been independently verified at the Limited Assurance level by Cameron-Cole based on the World Resources Institute (WRI)/World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
    A complete verification statement can be found here.

We also recognize our work in CR aligns with numerous UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which serve as a global framework for global partnership to improve health and education, spur economic growth, and focus on diminishing the effects of climate change. Our business goals and the goals of our CR programs globally align most directly with the following UN SDGs:
