Diversity

For over a century Roche has stood for innovation and entrepreneurship. A diverse workforce provides the inspiration and innovation on which our business depends.

Creativity, better decision-making and problem-solving ability are often driven by the different and sometimes conflicting approaches, perspectives, ideas and experiences of the people working within a company. An inclusive environment enables these differing views to be exchanged openly and is the key to driving the innovation that leads to promising new medicines.

Roche is committed to creating and nurturing an inclusive environment in which employees feel valued and respected. Our goal is to successfully manage the diversity of skills, thought processes and experiences of all our employees, and build on this for our collective success.

Roche does not tolerate any form of discrimination based on gender, race, age, skin colour, nationality, religion, marital status, sexual preference, background, physical or mental disability, or any other grounds.

Our history of achieving our business goals and excelling in science and innovation is a result of consistently employing the best people.

• We have about 80,000 people worldwide, representing over 130 different nationalities.
• People from more than 80 nationalities work for Roche in Switzerland.
• Women make up about half of our overall workforce; they hold nearly 40% of our management roles.
