Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

At UCB, we welcome not just the best and brightest, but those who care about making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients. We believe in working together as ONE UCB to deliver impactful solutions. We inspire a culture of inclusion by providing equitable opportunities to all employees, embracing diverse talents, and leveraging diversity of thought and experience to create value for patients, now and into the future.

Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) is foundational to our sustainability approach. We define diversity as the accumulated richness of people’s unique backgrounds, lives, cultural experiences, and the diversity of thought that this brings to our work. Equity means ensuring all employees are offered fair opportunities for development, advancement, compensation, and reward. And finally, inclusion means respecting individual differences and capturing the advantages that this provides to drive greater impact and value in our work.
