Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Data

See our 2023 Environment, Social and Governance Report for DI&B Data. Although we do not use our Federal Employer Information Report EEO-1 to measure progress, we make our most recent filing publicly available.

Employee Resource Groups

Our strategy is intended to help Amgen successfully navigate a complex global marketplace as we bring more medicines to more patients around the world. Amgen is setting goals in order to improve our focus. These goals will also serve as a baseline for measuring our progress toward a more inclusive workplace.

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) promote, support and illustrate the impact that a diverse workforce has on our business and are a key component in helping us recruit a diverse workforce. Our ERGs are also essential in helping to create connections across Amgen's global locations and flexible work arrangements. They provide multiple opportunities for employees to bond across time zones and shared interests, while reinforcing Amgen's strong culture of belonging.

Currently, we have 12 global ERGs, all with executive sponsorship from CEO staff and senior leaders, and all organized around the primary focus of advancing DI&B at Amgen. We provide leaders and managers with training and tools to lead a diverse workforce and create an inclusive environment.
