Equity, Equality,
Diversity and Inclusion

Embracing equality, diversity and inclusion is fundamental at AbbVie. We offer our people the tools, training and experiences they need to reach their potential.

Our Commitment

A diverse and inclusive culture empowers everyone to bring their best selves to work each day. It drives innovation through collaboration and openness to ideas that emerge from each person’s unique life experiences. It helps us have greater empathy with our patients, customers, and communities we serve. It’s our commitment to supporting people to thrive and creating a more equitable and inclusive workplace for all.

Why it matters

For Our People: The best thinking can come from any part of the organisation, so employees must have the freedom to share their perspectives and challenge each other.
For Our Patients: Developing and bringing innovative, lifechanging medicines to our patients requires the thoughtfulness and creativity that can only come from a wide range of inputs.
For Our Business: Because they’re good for our people and our patients, equity, equality, diversity and inclusion will strengthen our business performance.

Our EEDI work focuses on six core dimensions of EEDI that matter most to our employees – First Nations equity, gender equity, life stages, diverse abilities, cultural and racial diversity and LGBTQIA+

As a company dedicated to making a remarkable impact on people’s lives, we are compelled to contribute to positive social change here and across the world. That’s why we are investing in and committed to equity, equality, diversity, and inclusion (EEDI) in all we do.
