What D&I means to us
At Boehringer Ingelheim, we are powered by our people and we, therefore, strive to create an inclusive workplace for all our employees. Our people are part of a deep-rooted, family company philosophy that welcomes everyone. We believe that diversity is crucial for our business to grow, as the diversity of our people is key to understand our patients, partners, and understanding as well as to our ability to innovate, attract, and retain diverse talent.
We believe the power of diversity is only unleashed in an inclusive workplace. Inclusion creates a working environment where every employee feels a sense of belonging by working towards shared goals, while at the same time being and feeling valued for individual uniqueness. We believe that each person has a part to play in creating this inclusive environment. Whether our unique perspectives come from our employees’ backgrounds or from our wide range of partners and suppliers, we proudly weave diversity and inclusion into the fabric of who we are.
We believe that each employee has a part to play in creating an inclusive culture. Find out more about how everyone can play a part with our “I in D&I” series here.
