Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We are Better Together.
​
At Global Level we have established Our Five Strategic Pillars to underscore our D, E & I commitments:
We are committed to creating a workplace where everyone can succeed and thrive. We are dedicated to building and retaining a talented workforce that encompasses diversity of thought, work styles, and beliefs as well as all aspects of diversity including race, color, gender, national or ethnic origin or ancestry, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, military or veteran status, disability, and other categories as outlined in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
​
At Charles River, we are thousands of difference makers across the globe, united by one purpose:
Together We Create Healthier Lives.
Achieving this purpose requires diverse perspectives and experiences to advance scientific breakthroughs and an inclusive workplace that brings out the best in all of us. When we succeed at this, our innovation flourishes, enabling us to deliver the highest-quality, equitable outcomes to our colleagues, communities, clients, and the animals and patients we work to help each day.
