At AstraZeneca, our Inclusion and Diversity mission is to create an inclusive and equitable environment where people belong, using the power of our diversity to push the boundaries of science to deliver life-changing medicines to patients.
Our global commitment to Inclusion and Diversity is central to creating an inclusive culture where everyone feels they belong. Inclusion and Diversity is woven into the fabric of everything we do, reflected in our Values and the behaviours that underpin them.
Our approach to Inclusion and Diversity
We have three key focus areas which work together to deliver our global Inclusion and Diversity strategy:
Inclusion
We aim to cultivate inclusion and belonging by fostering an environment where everyone feels valued, heard and respected.
Diversity
We are working to build and sustain a diverse leadership and talent pipeline by embedding Inclusion and Diversity into our ways of working and creating conditions for all people to succeed and thrive.
Impact
Together, we are focused on making a difference for patients and society through our commitment to health equity, clinical trial diversity and supplier diversity.
Our Employee Resource Groups
Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) bring together employees with shared identities and other diversity cohorts to connect, learn and engage as allies.
