We have around 100,000 (exact figure in 2021 is 95,442) employees with over 142 nationalities between us, but diversity on its own is not enough. That’s why we work constantly to ensure our workplace is also inclusive, where everyone can be their true selves, comfortable to speak up and brave enough to speak out. Building such an environment also directly influences and impacts how we engage with patients and customers, as well as with the communities where we work.
Our new ambitions
We have already made strong progress on our ambition to be a gender-balanced organization, but we need to do more to make an impact in the world through who we are, what we do, and the way we do it. And we know that the only way forward is for everyone to be truly represented and included.
"Our diversity, equity and inclusion strategy is about impact. Impact on our workforce, our workplace, and our marketplace to make the most of our collective differences, all together."
Raj Verma, Chief Diversity, Culture and Employee Experience Officer
