Diversity , equity and inclusion

Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I).

We continue to advance diversity, equity and inclusion across our operations. Most of our work around DE&I is guided through our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), including the Black Employees Advisory Board and the Hikma Women’s Network. Also, we are working to increase the representation of women in our leadership team. We have set a target to increase the gender diversity of the leadership team to a minimum of 35% women by the end of 2025.

Our commitment to DE&I

Mentoring and empowering women with BPWA
In Jordan we have a partnership with the Business and Professional Women Association (BPWA) to mentor and empower women, featuring ‘power meet ups’ for women to discuss topics ranging from work-life balance, decision making, problem solving, time management and professional skills with their mentors.

We are committed to continuing to advance DE&I at Hikma and to creating a workplace where everyone can thrive. We are proud of the progress we have made so far; however, we know that there is still more work to be done.
