FEDERAL CONTRACTOR EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY POLICY STATEMENT – PROTECTED VETERANS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES


Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMS) has been and will continue to be an equal opportunity employer. To ensure full implementation of this equal employment policy, BMS will take steps to ensure that: 

a.  Persons are recruited, hired, trained and promoted without regard to protected veteran status, disability, or any other status protected by applicable law. 

b.  All other personnel actions, such as compensa­tion, benefits, transfers, layoffs and recall from layoffs, access to training, education, tuition assis­tance and social recreation pro­grams are administered without regard to protected veteran status, disability, or any other status protected by applicable law.

c.  Employees and applicants shall not be subjected to harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion or discrimination because they have: (1) filed a complaint; (2) assisted or participated in an investigation, compliance review, hearing or any other activity related to the administration of any federal, state or local law requiring equal employment opportunity; (3) opposed any act or practice made unlawful by any federal, state or local law requiring equal opportunity or (4) exercised any other right protected by federal, state or local law requiring equal opportunity. 

I have appointed Marijana Haskell to take on the responsibili­ties of EEO Coordinator.  The EEO Coordinator will be respon­sible for the day-to-day imple­ment­a­tion and monitoring of the Company’s Equal Employment Opportunity Plan for protected veterans and individuals with disabilities.  As part of that responsibil­ity, the EEO Coordinator will periodi­cally analyze the Company's personnel actions and their effects to ensure compliance with our equal employment opportunity policy and administer the audit and reporting system. 

If you, as one of our employees or as an applicant for employment, have any questions about this policy or would like to be considered under our Equal Employment Opportunity Plan, please contact Marijana Haskell during regular business hours.

I have reviewed and fully endorse our Equal Employment Opportunity Program.  In closing, I ask the continued assistance and support of all the Company's personnel to attain our objec­tive of equal employment opportunity for all. 

 Sincerely,



Chris Boerner
Board Chair and Chief Executive Officer
