Pour mener à bien notre mission qui consiste à ne laisser aucune personne atteinte du VIH pour compte, l’inclusion et la diversité doivent demeurer au cœur de tout ce que nous faisons : de nos innovations révolutionnaires à notre gamme diversifiée de médicaments, en passant par nos partenariats avec des communautés impliqués dans la lutte contre le VIH. Faire partie d’une équipe diversifiée et d’une culture véritablement inclusive où nous pouvons tous être nous-mêmes et ressentir un sentiment d’appartenance fera de nous une équipe encore plus forte et une entreprise plus rentable et nous permettra de mener à bien notre mission de ne laisser personne vivant avec le VIH pour compte.
