Global Diversity and Inclusion
Pay equity and Gender parity
Pay equity
We believe that providing equal pay for equal work is one of several enablers of a diverse and inclusive work environment. One of our compensation practices is to use a gender-neutral market-based approach tied to roles at all levels in the organization to set starting salaries and for lateral and promotional moves.
Gender parity
In 2015, Bristol Myers Squibb achieved gender parity across the entire organization and continues to see increases in the representation of women in the manager and professional categories. Upon achieving this milestone, our focus shifted to ensuring global gender parity at the executive level. We believe we are on track to achieve this goal by the end of 2022, supporting our recently announced commitment to global gender parity at the executive level.
Global management by level and gender
As we build representation at senior levels of our organization, we will continue to focus on the advancement of our pipeline of female talent.

therefore not represented in the charts above:

BMS workforce representation commitments
To further deepen this historical commitment to global diversity and inclusion in 2020, Bristol Myers Squibb and the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation each committed $150 million to diversity and inclusion and health equity. This includes the bold company pledge to advance leadership representation by the end of 2022 by achieving gender parity globally and doubling Black/African American and Latino/Hispanic executive representation in the U.S.
Although we have made these sustained investments, we are not where we want to be nor where we need to be. The data provided in this report is another step in reinforcing our commitment to diversity and inclusion. While some of the data does not reflect the aspiration we set for ourselves in building the workforce we desire, it provides a clear indication of where we are today and shows our areas for improvement.
