The success of AstraZeneca is founded on innovation and creativity. We know that a team is at its most creative when it is made up of people who think differently from one another, in an environment where different views and perspectives are welcomed and valued. This shared creativity unlocks challenges and brings new solutions. It fosters continuous innovation, constant learning and propels our growth – for individuals in the team as well as for our company.

At AstraZeneca, we encourage each member of our team to understand who they are and what makes them unique. Bringing this different thinking together and building a consciously inclusive culture is fundamental to our success in bringing the best medicines to patients as quickly as possible. It is who we are and why we are here.
