Our workforce represents the people we serve
Diversity and inclusion (D&I) are not just words — they are the reason we are able to deliver on our purpose: We use the power of leading-edge science to save and improve lives around the world.
But diversity is only half of the story; inclusion is just as important. Inclusion means a sense of belonging. When our employees know they are crucial to our work, not only will they thrive, but our company will, too.

Compliance
As part of our long-standing commitment to ethics and good corporate citizenship, our first step is always to comply with the laws and regulations that govern the way we market and sell our medicines, vaccines and other products.
A well-established compliance program provides benefits such as:
-
is consistent with recommendations set forth by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Code on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals created by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA);
-
risks compliance reduction
-
reputation improvement and increased operational efficiency.
-
Regular reviews and updates are necessary to ensure compliance with industry standards.
-
seeks to prevent, detect and resolve potential violations of law or company policy.
Our board of directors and senior management, including the company’s chief compliance officer and corporate compliance committee, oversee the company’s global compliance program, including compliance-related policies and procedures, education and training – all of which reflect the highest standards and are tailored to our business and culture.
In addition, we:
-
require employees to report potential violations of law or company policy;
-
hold ourselves accountable for responding promptly when potential violations arise;
-
take disciplinary action as appropriate; and
-
examine whether identified violations are in part due to gaps in our policies, practices or internal controls and, if so, take appropriate action to prevent future violations.
