Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Roche

At Roche, people are at the heart of what we do. We are grounded in a clear and deep sense of purpose and committed to a culture where everyone feels a sense of belonging and where we can thrive equally; no matter what it is that makes us unique — age, beliefs, ability, how we identify, how we think, where we are from, or the languages we speak. Our diverse and inclusive culture is long-term orientated, helping us achieve our purpose, and collectively making the impossible possible for patients.

Our approach to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is multidimensional, holistic and personal. Together we embrace the unique power of each person to transform the lives of patients & society with a focus on our four strategic DE&I pillars: Patients, People, Culture, and Society.

We believe our ability to advance positive change in society goes far beyond Roche, and even healthcare, in building a more equitable, diverse and inclusive future for all.
