Incyte: Our Commitment to Inclusion

Incyte is a global biopharmaceutical company that seeks to develop and bring to market treatments for people living with diseases where there are unmet needs. In order to best serve our patients, we are focused on fostering a collaborative, innovative and inclusive culture that is rooted in diverse abilities, experiences, perspectives and backgrounds.

Inclusion in the Workplace

We’re proud of the inclusive and collaborative environment we have created where every individual can contribute to their full potential.

We take the time to speak directly to our employees about their needs and experiences, and we are committed to providing competitive, equitable compensation and comprehensive benefits to empower every Incyte employee to thrive at work and at home.

We continuously evaluate our efforts to ensure every employee feels they can contribute to their fullest potential across our organization.

Our goal is to ensure that our commitment and actions toward an inclusive culture are clear to our employees, those we do business with and the patients we serve. These corporate objectives are tied to measurable success as part of our Environmental, Social and Governance frameworks.

Global Headquarters

To track our progress in the U.S., where approximately 50 percent of our workforce is located, we launched an employee feedback tool and established an Inclusion Committee comprised of a diverse team of 50 U.S.-based employees to identify areas of improvement and implement initiatives that will enable us to reach our goals. We created five key subcommittees with clear and measurable objectives:

Incyte Inclusion in Clinical Trials

Representing diverse communities within our clinical trials is essential for understanding and treating disease—the more diverse the participants, the more our researchers can learn about the different ways in which people respond to treatments.

Because studies have shown that minorities and people from historically marginalized groups in the U.S. are less likely to be included in clinical research, we’ve made it a priority to remove participation barriers and increase racial and ethnic diversity in our clinical trials.

To advance this mission, a sub-committee of our Inclusion Team focused on clinical trials created a new iDIRECT (Incyte Diversity, Inclusion, Representation and Equity in Clinical Trials) team dedicated to promoting diversity in clinical trials. The iDIRECT team identified strengths and opportunities for improving diversity in our current clinical trials and suggested strategies to enhance diverse participation in future trials.

These insights informed our new Clinical Trial Diversity Roadmap. Guided by the Roadmap, we’ve established a standard approach to determining diversity enrollment goals, launched a dashboard detailing diversity enrollment metrics for U.S. clinical studies, and leveraged real world evidence to identify sites that can enroll diverse patients and invite them to participate in our studies.
