Diversity and Inclusion

Our commitment to diversity & inclusion

Creating a diverse and inclusive, high performance culture involves everyone!  Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) at Thermo Fisher Scientific is integral to our growth strategy and aligns with our 4i Values of Integrity, Intensity, Innovation and Involvement.  We are committed to creating a global environment that embraces and leverages the unique qualities and differences of every individual employee.

Embracing diversity through involvement

Our Diversity and Inclusion strategy is greatly enabled through the progress of our Business Resource Groups (BRGs). These groups bring together individuals with similar interests to improve the colleague experience as well as to support key initiatives. BRGs invite and embrace the many elements of diversity to promote learning, advancement and engagement.

Health and Wellbeing Business Resource Group

An integrated approach to enable our colleagues with tools and resources for holistic wellbeing by creating safe systems of work.

Women’s Business Resource Group

The Women's ERG is committed to fostering the advancement of women and building a corporate culture in which women employees are recruited, developed, retained, and promoted globally.

ANZ Green Team

A group of volunteers dedicated to promoting environmental sustainability initiatives at sites across Australia and New Zealand.

Generation Connect

Our goal is to create a collaborative and inclusive work environment where employees of all ages recognize knowledge in each other, share their perspectives and explore opportunities to grow​.

Pride+

Our mission is to empower and support LGBTQ+ employees, fostering an inclusive and affirming workplace that celebrates diversity. Pride+ strives to create a space where individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities can thrive and bring their authentic selves to work and contribute to the success of Thermo Fisher Scientific.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Thermo Fisher Scientific’s CSR strategy consists of three elements: our business, our employees and our giving. Our CSR strategy supports our responsibility to the global community, and starts with our mission: to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer.

Reconciliation Action Plan

Thermo Fisher Scientific ANZ has received endorsement from Reconciliation Australia for our inaugural Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan, to be officially published later this year. ​We have already implemented several key initiatives in this space including the creation of a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) working group made up of colleague across the business, launched Cultural Awareness Training to all employees and have ongoing recognition and celebration of culturally significant events such as NAIDOC and Reconciliation Week.
