Ethnicity and Cultural Inclusion at GlaxoSmithKline

There are four Employee Resource Groups that focus on ethnicity and cultural inclusion:

• EMBRACE – the UK and rest of the world group working together to create an environment that enables Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic employees to reach their full potential.
• Fusion – our Asian Business Network fostering professional development, community outreach, networking and leadership opportunities.
• Mosaic – a US group drawing on the diverse knowledge, perspectives, experiences and talents of GSK’s Black employees and employees of African descent in the US.
• Crece – supports inclusion and collaboration of diverse talents and perspectives; leveraging the Latino-Hispanic value within the work place, the market place and the community.

We remain committed to improving ethnic diversity within GSK and recruiting and developing talent that mirrors the communities in which we work.

Our ethnicity commitments:

• In the US: at least 30% ethnically diverse leaders in our VP and above roles by the end of 2025
• In the UK: at least 18% ethnically diverse leaders in our VP and above roles by the end of 2025. 

At the end of 2021, we reported strong growth in the diversity of our leadership and were on track to achieve our aspirations. We are proud that 27.1% of senior leaders in the US were ethnically diverse (up from 23.2% in 2020) and in the UK 12.9% of senior leaders were ethnically diverse (up from 11.1% in 2020).
