UK Gender Pay Report

Gilead welcomes initiatives that support inclusion and diversity across businesses, and fully embraces the Gender Pay Disclosure initiated by the UK Government. We firmly believe that teams composed of employees with different experiences and backgrounds are best prepared to carry out our company mission to save and transform lives. This report highlights the comparison between the average pay of all men and the average pay of all women across our three sites in the UK. While gender is the focus of this report, it is just one element of our approach to building an inclusive work culture, where differences are valued and people feel supported and enabled to achieve their full potential. Inclusion is one of our core values, and our values underpin our actions. As such, we remain committed to our diversity and talent development initiatives and believe the steps we are taking today will benefit Gilead and the communities we serve tomorrow and in the longer term.

Relationships with Healthcare Professionals and Joint Working Projects

Healthcare professionals, other relevant decision makers and healthcare organisations with whom we work provide valuable, independent and expert knowledge derived from their clinical and management experience. This expertise makes an important contribution to our efforts to improve the quality of patient care, with benefits for individuals and society at large. We believe healthcare professionals, other relevant decision makers and healthcare organisations should be fairly compensated for the legitimate expertise and services they provide. Our disclosure can be found here.
