We are all unique
The more diverse our people, the more inclusive our working environments are, the better we can master future challenges. It is the uniqueness of our people that brings science, curiosity, and our high-impact culture to life. It's simple: Diversity, equity & inclusion (DE&I) drive progress, innovation and are good for business.
Our uniqueness
makes us who we are
Diversity, equity & inclusion is not a “topic”. It is not an “issue”. It is not a “hobby”. It is a business and people imperative. We’ve pledged to our people, partners, customers, patients, and our industry to nurture inclusivity, achieve gender parity and increase cultural and ethnic representation in leadership.

Our aspirations for 2030
Our newly endorsed diversity, equity and inclusion strategy and ambitions have been expanded to focus on three dimensions: inclusion, gender as well as culture & ethnicity.
I am very excited about our new DE&I aspirations. I am confident that our purposeful actions to attract, hire, retain, and advance talent will yield solid results and advance our DE&I culture.
Belong, thrive and grow… together
Simply put, we care that all colleagues belong, thrive, and grow. We strive for equitable outcomes and work to identify and eliminate barriers to create access to opportunity, contributions and advancement.
I am seeing the power of diversity at work and how an inclusive, equitable workplace can drive impact. My team aims to reflect the diverse people, voices, and needs of our customers as well as our teammates. Only with a joint commitment to DE&I we can ensure that all of our people thrive and grow here.

Each and every one of us are “on the hook” to help us reach our ambitions. We all have to ask ourselves: How can I contribute to our global ambitions? What actions can I - and those around me - take to facilitate an inclusive environment? This calls for focus and acting with true INTENTION.
