Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Halozyme is committed to compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws prohibiting unlawful considerations of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, marital status or any other protected classification. Our goal is to maintain and grow our inclusive workplace and assure we have a work environment free from discrimination and harassment of any kind, including sexual harassment, racism, and discrimination based on gender or sexual orientation.

We integrate DE&I holistically into Halozyme’s core processes to ensure that it’s not a stand-alone initiative but is an intrinsic part of the organizational DNA. We continually work to build a diverse team that reflects the rich tapestry of global talent, united by a shared passion for making a positive impact on the lives of patients and their families.

We embrace and celebrate the unique talents, backgrounds, and perspectives each team member brings to the table, recognizing that diversity is a catalyst for innovation. In line with our commitment, we have adopted the Biotechnology Innovation Organization’s principles on workforce development, diversity, and inclusion. These principles guide our strategies to foster a workplace culture that nurtures creativity, collaboration, and excellence.

As of December 1, 2023, our dedication to these principles has resulted in a diverse and inclusive employee base. Specifically:

As part of our Elevate leadership training curriculum, we reinforce key DE&I topics with our leaders to provide them with the tools and training they need to support our DE&I efforts. Leaders learn how to prevent unconscious bias and promote trust and psychological safety, among other topics.

While we are proud of our achievements in creating a diverse and inclusive workforce, we recognize that fostering diversity is an ongoing journey. By fostering a culture that values and leverages the diverse strengths of our team, we believe we are better positioned to drive innovation, improve patient outcomes, and contribute meaningfully to the healthcare industry.

  • Principal 1

    We will champion workforce development, diversity and inclusion as a way to attract, develop and retain our talent pool within the globally competitive biotechnology industry.

  • Principal 2

    We believe that diversity in all aspects of business operations will optimize the continued growth and success of our company and the biotechnology industry.
