Valuing Differences at Genzyme

At Genzyme, an important foundation of our shared vision is a diverse workforce. Diversity is what our business is about: in the patients we serve, the products we produce, the communities where we work, and the people who contribute to our success. Diversity is expressed in the thinking, work styles, and backgrounds of people who are dedicated to the objectives and outcomes we seek to achieve.

We serve a global population, and inclusion is an integral part of our business practices. In over 30 countries worldwide, Genzyme employees with diverse talents, languages, experiences, points of view, genders, physical abilities, and cultural backgrounds develop creative solutions to today’s unmet medical needs, serving patients in over 80 countries. We are committed to fostering a collaborative working environment to meet this goal. Valuing differences is an expression of our ongoing dedication to serving every patient.

Diversity at Work

Our success as a company is rooted in the various ways we collaborate to develop innovative solutions that meet the needs of people around the world. We are inspired, knowing that as individuals, our talents, teamwork, and creativity are making an important contribution to the quality of life of patients in need.

We strive to ensure that a broad range of perspectives is represented in every decision we make. Appreciating our differences and treating one another with respect are important elements of our working culture. The benefits of these values are reflected in how we work together and our ability to address the unique needs of patients.

“Genzyme's matrix organization with cross-functional teams managing various projects and initiatives provides individuals the opportunity to be actively involved and to learn about aspects of the company's operations beyond ones primary area of responsibility.”

Henry Darnell
