Inclusion, Diversity & Belonging (IDB)
Just as our success depends on our people, so does our ability to create a community where every person is supported and empowered to enable a healthier world. Inclusion is the action. Diversity is the result. Belonging is our cultural ambition.
Inclusion is one of Lonza’s four core values, alongside integrity, innovation and initiative. We understand the value of our differences and the benefits they bring to our company, community and culture. We also recognize the value of every person’s contribution, regardless of characteristics, preferences and beliefs – including race, color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity and religion.
Our Inclusion, Diversity and Belonging (IDB) Council is committed to maintaining a true sense of inclusion and belonging through exploring and embracing every aspect of diversity. We offer a combination of awareness and education programs, often in partnership with relevant groups and organizations. We also uphold a zero-tolerance approach towards any harassment and bullying behaviors. These commitments span across our whole colleague community and executive management, where we have an ambition to actively promote gender equality by increasing the proportion of women in leadership.
Every day, Lonza’s products and services have a positive impact on millions of people. For us, this is not only a great privilege, but also a great responsibility. How we achieve our business results is just as important as the achievements themselves. At Lonza, we respect and protect our people and our environment. Any success we achieve is no success at all if not achieved ethically.
People come to Lonza for the challenge and creativity of solving complex problems and developing new ideas in life sciences. In return, we offer the satisfaction that comes with improving lives all around the world. The satisfaction that comes with making a meaningful difference.
