Inclusion
and Diversity
A Place Where
Everyone
Belongs
It is a business imperative to have diverse perspectives, experiences and skills to drive innovation and cross discipline teamwork enabling us to deliver exceptional value for our patients and business. Our culture ensures everyone is included and has the opportunity to bring their unique perspective.
At Daiichi Sankyo, we are committed to fostering a culture of inclusion and belonging where everyone feels welcomed, valued, safe, and respected.
Companies who are inclusive experience better productivity, increase profit margins, and are faster to market. In addition, an inclusive and diverse workplace enhances employee morale and engagement, builds a positive brand reputation overall, and improves customer satisfaction.
What It Means to Be Inclusive and Embrace Diversity
We value people for who they are as individuals and welcome diverse perspectives in our work, which enables us to achieve more as One Daiichi Sankyo.
We are focused on creating better tomorrows for patients and redefining the standard of care around the world. The value we deliver is strengthened when we welcome diverse perspectives, and each person feels they belong and are empowered to express their distinct views.
Our core behavior fuels exceptional results for our patients, employees, and business.
Be Inclusive
It’s the practice of making people feel a sense of belonging at work. At Daiichi Sankyo, being inclusive means we foster an environment where everyone knows they can contribute equally, bring their unique talents and skillsets to work, and feel that their individuality is accepted.
Embrace Diversity
This means we understand what makes us each different and actively use it to strengthen our culture
of belonging and support the business strategy.
Diversity encompasses all the elements that make each of us unique, such as gender, race, religion,
background, sexual orientation, generation, disability, mindset, life experiences, and many more.
Business and Employee Resource Groups
I&D is not accomplished in a silo. Employees and leaders make a difference by supporting I&D initiatives, and actively sharing, encouraging, and listening to different voices and ideas. Daiichi Sankyo sponsors several Business and Employee Resource Groups (BERGs) to provide networking, leadership development, and programming opportunities for all employees. These include:
Black Employees Leading Inclusion, Excellence, Vision & Empowerment (BELIEVE)
Supports employees through collaboration, networking, and relationship-building.
The Women’s Forum
Empowers employees to achieve their goals through personal and professional development.

“At Daiichi Sankyo, we intentionally put ‘inclusion’ before ‘diversity,’ because without inclusion in the front seat, this work fails.”
