At AstraZeneca, our inclusion and diversity (I&D) mission is to create an inclusive and equitable environment where people belong, using our diversity as a competitive advantage to push the boundaries of science to deliver life-changing medicines.

Our global commitment to I&D is central to creating an inclusive culture where everyone feels they belong. I&D is woven into the fabric of everything we do, reflected in our Values and the behaviours that underpin them.






Our approach to I&D

We have three key focus areas which work together to deliver our global I&D 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 I&D into our ways of working and creating conditions for all people to succeed and thrive.


Impact

Together we are focused on advancing societal change 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.
