Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Whether interacting with our teams or our customers, Elanco is committed to exemplifying these principles of inclusion, and being the safe haven its employees expect and deserve. An inclusive, equitable and diverse atmosphere is at the heart of that commitment, and Elanco will not waver in its achievement.

At Elanco, our diversity and inclusion commitment is backed by action. The Global Elanco Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Council serves as a catalyst for a culture where diversity and inclusion are embraced and recognized as a business-result driver. With this program, employee development is better supported, opinions and diverse backgrounds are embraced, and we are a stronger company.

Formed in 2015, the Council serves to connect the various groups across Elanco driving Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives. Council membership represents all of our Departments, Affiliates and Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). It serves as an enabler of D&I efforts by creating space for discussion, brainstorming, problem solving and resource sharing. Current Council focus areas include our Be You! Seminar series to raise awareness and provide a forum for an open discussion on the importance of a diverse and inclusive workplace at Elanco and supporting employee development and growing our ERGs.
