Smarter people, better business
We may be a science-based company, but we couldn’t do what we do without a range of specialists in other fields – experts who keep us going every day. Keeping our business running, making sure we’re organized and legally compliant, and looking after our most valuable asset: our people.
Human Resources
Our Human Resources team works as a strategic partner to the whole business, locally and globally. In a company that’s independent, authentic and bold, they cover talent acquisition and management, leadership development, and our diversity & inclusion strategies, as well as providing strategic and operational support.
Finance
Our Finance Division implements the strategies that keep us financially stable and ensures that we meet our obligations to the authorities and our stakeholders – as well as the everyday monitoring of our financial performance. Their colleagues in Controlling regulate our financial operations and provide strategic advice.
Sourcing & Purchasing
Sourcing is a strategic partner for our global business - a key part of the Global Business Services (GBS) corporate division. They ensure that we get value in our purchasing, and decide and act with speed to ensure our buying power and business continuity across our whole business. As a global team working across 16 Regional Operating Units, Sourcing manages yearly spending of approximately EUR 8 billion for our colleagues in the Human Pharma, Animal Health, BioPharma and Finance & Group divisions.
Global Business Services
GBS supports our growth by providing efficient, effective, and compliant solutions. Their global organization - around 2000 people - operates from four centers in Manila, Buenos Aires, Germany, and Wroclaw, complemented by Sourcing Teams worldwide. Our GBS teams share one goal: enabling us to focus on our core competencies and make millions of lives better. They do this by providing business services like accounting-to-reporting and hire-to-retire. By sourcing the best products from the best suppliers, by streamlining and harmonizing processes, by making data useful and compliant, and by finding the best insurance for our people and our business.
