Driven by employee data and initiative, we are taking action to measurably improve diversity, equity and inclusion in our workplace.
At Elsevier, we strive to create an inclusive, diverse and equitable workplace where all our people can thrive. This is core to the Elsevier Experience. In the words of our CEO, Kumsal Bayazit:
“Inclusion and diversity are at the heart of the way we run our business. We focus on accountability and practical action to make our organization a place where colleagues can be their best, feel valued and have equal opportunities to continually grow and develop. We are encouraged by the demonstrable progress we are making, including the valued recognition for Elsevier as the number 1 company for diversity.
“This is a journey, and we will continue to improve our inclusion and diversity across the many dimensions of race and ethnicity, gender, age, LGBTQ+ and abilities amongst our 9,500 colleagues.”
