Inclusion
We embrace inclusion across our science, access to medicine and vaccines and our people and culture.
To be a successful business and deliver positive health impact at scale, we must meet patients’ needs with research that includes those impacted by the disease under study. We do so by attracting and retaining the best talent regardless of background, and we support all GSK people to thrive.
We believe in the power of a strong company culture and of differing perspectives and experiences to unlock the full potential of the company. This helps attract and retain outstanding talent, develop innovative solutions, and drive better decision-making, supporting long-term performance and better health outcomes for patients.
Leading through action
Ambitious for patients: representative clinical studies
Diseases and medicines can affect people differently depending on their ethnicity, sex, race and age. This means we need to make sure our clinical trials include people affected by the disease being studied. This supports our business performance by giving healthcare providers and the people who are prescribed our medicines and vaccines confidence in the safety and effectiveness of our products. Before starting enrolment, all our phase III clinical trials have representation plans to reflect the people most affected by a particular disease. In 2025, four phase III trials completed enrolment. Of these, two met the enrolment thresholds we set to ensure trial participants represent the disease epidemiology under study. We will continue to focus our efforts on improving trial participant representation.
Building a high-performing organisation
In recent years, we’ve made a step-change in performance, driven by a strong company culture. This helps attract top talent, foster innovation, and improve decision-making, supporting long-term success and better health outcomes.
We strive to make GSK a workplace that supports growth, collaboration, and high performance. Our employee survey measures engagement, which was 81% favourable in 2024. Employee Resource Groups also contribute to fostering our company culture.
Fostering fairness & equity
We are committed to equal employment opportunity, non-discrimination and merit-based decision making in the way we recruit manage and develop our people.
Fair and equal pay practices are crucial to create an environment where people feel welcome, valued, included and supported to thrive. We conduct country-based reviews and ensure all markets have clear guidance, tools and support to ensure pay fairness. If unexplained differences are detected, we address them through our compensation processes.
Employees driving change
Our Employee Resource Groups
Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are at the heart of our inclusive culture. They run engaging events, workshops, and initiatives where everyone is welcome to learn, contribute, and feel connected. ERG membership and events are open to all employees, fostering a diverse and supportive environment.
Our ERGs include:
Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI): Empowering women and advocating for their professional growth.
Spectrum (LGBTQIA+): Championing an inclusive environment for our LGBTQIA+ colleagues and allies.
Disability Confidence Network (DCN): Promoting a workplace where individuals with disabilities feel confident and supported.
EMBRACE: Fostering cultural understanding and belonging.
In 2025, our Belgium ERGs have a combined membership of 2,938 employees, demonstrating our strong commitment to an inclusive workplace.
Building an inclusive workplace through workshops
In Belgium, over the past two years, we've actively strengthened our inclusive culture through impactful workshops, engaging thousands of employees in discussions on respect and inclusion. Looking ahead, we're excited to introduce new programmes focusing on psychological safety and unconscious bias, continually evolving our commitment to a supportive and equitable workplace.
