Diversity and inclusion

Diversity and inclusion: the key to our long-term success

To operate successfully as a global organization, it is essential that our people reflect the rich cultural, ethnic and gender diversity of our markets. As our customer base becomes increasingly diverse, a diverse talent pool becomes a critical bridge between the workplace and the marketplace. Diversity of our workforce enhances customer insight and our ability to meet the needs of patients and other stakeholders. Retaining talent adds value to our company, our customers, our employees, our shareholders, our suppliers and the communities in which we live and work.

We consider diversity and inclusion to encompass, but not be limited to:

• Race
• Ethnicity
• Gender
• Thinking styles
• Religion and belief
• Sexual orientation
• Age
• Differential ability
• Education
• Nationality
• Life experiences
