Our 2025 Diversity & Inclusion Commitments speak to our people, our science and our societal efforts, and they serve as a transparent way to drive us forward.
At Genentech, embracing the increasingly diverse world around us is core to our business strategy. We believe in diversity of backgrounds and perspectives — including race/ethnicity, gender, LGBTQ+, veteran, and accessible communities — uniting us behind a common purpose and drawing on the strength of that diversity to drive better science and health outcomes.
We are determined to go faster. Be bolder. And we are doing just that across our three strategic pillars by:
We need the best and brightest minds, reflecting the increasingly diverse world around us, to pursue groundbreaking science that helps patients facing serious diseases.
Addressing health inequity and inclusion in our research is increasingly central to our mission to improve patient health outcomes. We seek to deepen engagement with patient groups, healthcare providers, payers, government stakeholders and others to scale and advance health equity for all patients.
Advancing diversity and inclusion requires broad societal transformation; consequently, our D&I programs go beyond our company and the healthcare industry. We must work to identify and dismantle systemic barriers and replace them with pathways to equitable healthcare access, education and career opportunities and advancement.
