Equity, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Embracing equity, equality, diversity and inclusion is fundamental at AbbVie. We are proud to offer an environment that allows our colleagues around the world to achieve their full potential.

Our commitment

We are committed to equity, equality, diversity and inclusion (EEDI). It’s fundamental to who we are and it’s just how we “do good business”. This includes valuing diverse perspectives, creating an inclusive culture and treating all employees with dignity and respect. 

Enabling us to achieve our best…

At AbbVie, having a diverse and inclusive culture is a business imperative. We are committed to operating with integrity, driving innovation, transforming lives, serving our community and embracing diversity and inclusion. It is not only the right thing to do, it strengthens our ability to innovate and is crucial to our ability to deliver now and into the future.

…so we can make a remarkable impact on patients

Developing and bringing innovative, life-changing medicines to patients requires diversity of thought – and diversity of thought comes from a diverse workforce.  Additionally important, we serve a wide variety of patient populations around the world and it is crucial that as a company, we reflect them and represent their voices.


Gender Pay Reports

AbbVie Gender Pay Reports As a global organisation, we continuously benchmark our total rewards practices internally and externally to ensure fairness and equality.

The enactment of the Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021 legislation now mandates reporting for all organisations with over 50 employees. It is expressed as a percentage difference between the mean or median figures for each gender.

We believe that gender pay gap reporting is important as it provides an opportunity for greater transparency and more meaningful conversations regarding equality across the organisation.

In our Gender Pay reports, we outline gender pay gap results and summarise some of the key programmes we have in place to help us foster an equitable workplace environment that enables our employees, regardless of gender, to develop and thrive.
