Innovation requires breakthrough ideas, which only come from a diverse workforce, empowered to challenge conventional thinking. That’s why we take inclusion and diversity seriously, it’s fundamental to our success and the lives of our patients.

In recent years, we’ve had 50% representation of men and women in our workforce and we are aiming for the same at management levels, but gender is only one measure of diversity. In 2020, we set the ambition to ensure racial equity in our workplace and access to our medicines, in our clinical trials and beyond.
