AmerisourceBergen and Alliance Healthcare - June 3, 2022

Pride Month is a fantastic opportunity for us all to show visible support for the LGBTQ+ community and stand up for the right to be your authentic self. You’ve probably seen your fair share of companies adding splashes of colour to their social media profiles in June. You may have even received some rainbow swag from corporate as part of your company’s Pride Month celebrations.

While we love to go big in June too, we fully recognize that Pride is more than a moment in time. That’s why we’re continuously partnering with our Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and our LGBTAllies Employee Resource Group to encourage pronoun use, inspire open dialogue, and offer learning opportunities to engage our team members. The same is true for our inclusive benefits, because gender-affirming care and fertility treatments for same-sex couples aren’t just needed one month out of the year.

Pride is a huge part of our global culture of inclusion - here's how we do this:

• Strategy and guidance - Our DEI Global Council ensures that the LGBTQ+ community is woven into the work we do — from our health equity initiatives to our supplier diversity program.

• Celebration events and activities - We participate in Pride Month globally and continue hosting panels, advocacy activities, volunteer opportunities, and much more throughout the year.

• Training and education - We offer DEI-focused leadership tools and a comprehensive inclusion learning journey for all our team members to inspire allyship and reduce unconscious bias.

• Tracking and transparency - Through our global Inclusion Index, we're able to evaluate representation across AB, measure belonging, and share results through our annual DEI Summary Report.

Pride 2022 is a special celebration like no other

After more than two years of largely remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, our team members across the globe have been anxiously awaiting the chance to come together. This year’s Pride festivities have created the perfect opportunity to do that around an event near and dear to so many people at AB.

June 2022 marks the one-year anniversary of Alliance Healthcare joining AB, and our offices have all officially reopened. That means it’s time to celebrate!

Senior Vice President and Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer of AmerisourceBergen, Ann Anaya said “I am so excited to be kicking off this year’s Pride activities. This will be a truly inclusive global moment that all our team members around the world can participate in. Whether a team member is a nurse in Canada or a pharmacist in Norway; working from an office in the U.S, or on the night shift in a distribution centre in Spain, we have many exciting ways for our colleagues to get involved and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, including our powerful network of allies. Through it all, our goal is to continue fostering a global culture where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported for who they are, and we appreciate our whole team joining us in this vital work.”
