Why being inclusive is important to me as a person and as the CEO of Mundipharma
Being inclusive is more than just a value that I hold — it's a fundamental principle that guides me in my personal life and professionally as a leader.
It is important to me that the culture of our organisation fosters an environment where our people are not only safe and comfortable, but proud and can confidently bring their whole, true self to work and feel seen, valued and respected for who they are.
Diversity of thought, experience, and background enriches our communities, and workplace fostering a sense of belonging that is essential for personal growth and well-being.
As CEO, I see being inclusive as a cornerstone of a thriving, innovative company. A diverse team brings unique perspectives that drive creativity, problem-solving, and resilience. When people feel included, they are engaged, motivated, and committed to the collective success of the company. It is not just about doing what have to do but we should do and what is right — it is about building a stronger, more adaptable organisation that can meet the challenges of our dynamic world; especially for our patients, customers and colleagues.
Being inclusive is a key to unlocking the full potential
of our people and the company.
By setting diversity and inclusion as a global priority, we make it clear that building and sustaining a culture where we can all thrive - regardless of who we are, our background and identity, including race, disability, sexual orientation or gender expression - is everyone’s responsibility at Mundipharma.
I am proud of the tangible positive change being delivered as a result of our five commitments to a diverse and inclusive environment at Mundipharma, through interventions and initiatives including a bespoke programme of inclusive leadership coaching and bias mitigation training which is available for all colleagues.
As we continue to evolve as a company, we are committed to creating an inclusive and equitable workplace for all. By embracing and encouraging diverse perspectives, fostering an environment where every voice is heard, and ensuring that our actions reflect our values, we are creating a workplace where everyone feels respected, valued, and empowered to contribute their best.
Together, we uphold the principles of equity and inclusion that define who we are.
