Jeff Simmons interviewed on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily

Jeff Simmons, President and CEO of Elanco Animal Health, recently joined the Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss the company's strategic framework and detail why he sees sustainable value creation continuing for years to come.

"I see this as one of the most resilient industries right now with some of the consumer trends that are out there," Simmons shared.

Simmons went on to emphasize the value of innovation as a driver of the growth at the company, including how its work in the cattle space is meeting the changing expectations of consumers.

"We've got a couple products here that are actually helping with productivity and low cattle numbers that are out there. That's why beef prices are a little higher, but also having an environmental impact. And CPG companies are signing up to say, hey, this is important to the next generation of protein consumers," Simmons explained.

This discussion comes on the heels of the company's recently-released 2024 Impact Report, which showcases Elanco's efforts to enhance animal care, not just improving the lives of animals but also the people who care for them.
