Our approach

Our I&D strategy embeds equitable practices across the organization to foster a high-performing and inclusive workplace. It focuses on four key areas to better serve the diverse needs of our patients, colleagues, suppliers and business. Learn more about our progress.

Improving health equity

Inclusion guides our efforts to expand access to our transformative medicines around the world. On a global scare, we are enabling timely and equitable access to differentiated, higher quality treatments that have changed the standard of care and help patients live healthier lives.

Expanding clinical trial diversity

Inclusion and diversity are front and center in our research and development. We are reimagining our approach to clinical trials to help ensure everyone has a fair and just opportunity to achieve optimal health outcomes. For us to better serve diverse populations, increasing clinical trial diversity is paramount.

Supporting communities through supplier diversity

Our people are advocates and champions for inclusion and diversity among our supplier network. Our supplier diversity program brings agility and innovation to BMS while driving economic development, wealth, job creation and more for vulnerable communities.

Fostering a high-performing
& inclusive workforce

We lead with action, intention, inclusion, and purpose to cultivate an environment within BMS where every voice counts and diverse opinions matter. We value and reward employees for sharing different viewpoints, backgrounds, and perspectives at all levels because it fuels our ability to deliver for every patient, regardless of where they live, socioeconomic status, or background.
