Amgen's Commitment to Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging

Consistent with our values, Amgen is committed to bringing the diversity of the world community into the Amgen community. We believe in harnessing the collective power of individual experiences, perspectives and knowledge of our workforce to fulfill our aspiration to be the best human therapeutics company. This means more than recruiting diverse talent; it also means maintaining an environment where this diverse workforce can contribute fully to our mission to serve patients. An environment of inclusion and belonging fosters innovation, strengthens our global workforce and drives our ability to fulfill our mission. This commitment sets forth key principles that guide our Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging efforts.

Diversity:

At Amgen, we seek to source the best talent available and make all employment decisions without regard to an individual’s gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, race, national origin, age, religion, disability or other protected characteristic. In making decisions about who to hire, promote or retain, what matters is an individual’s qualifications and performance and how these attributes align to business needs. Our goal is to ensure that qualified job applicants and employees are given equal opportunity to compete. We are Science-Based when making such decisions – relying solely on the facts, not assumptions, biases or irrelevant information.

Amgen seeks to improve diversity at the company by sourcing talent from diverse pools considering the full breadth of what an individual’s background and experience bring to a position, while eliminating potential bias from the decision-making process. Equally important, Amgen strives to provide all staff members with the mentorship, sponsorship and opportunities they need to succeed to their fullest potential.

Inclusion and Belonging:

It is every staff member’s responsibility to create a welcoming, inclusive and productive environment where all employees feel valued and able to contribute to their full potential. The foundation for inclusion and belonging is Amgen’s Values and Leadership Attributes.

Definitions:

Diversity is everything that makes each human being unique; it includes all aspects of a person’s physical, emotional, experiential and intellectual dimensions.

Inclusion leads to a sense of belonging by involving and empowering others in a way that recognizes each individual’s inherent worth and dignity.

Belonging is valuing every individual’s inherent worth and dignity, so they feel authentic, safe and invited to thrive.
