Based on a culture of learning, we foster a healthy work environment that is physically and psychologically safe. We prioritise employee health and wellbeing through flexible ways of working, access to disease prevention, treatment and mental health services. Training for leaders and managers is a key area of focus, as is the application of human and operational performance principles.
Our approach
Delivering medicines for patients around the world requires a safe, motivated and inspired workforce. Investing in the physical and mental health of our employees is vital for our business resilience, the communities where we operate and the economy.
Our Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) Standard supported by our Code of Ethics and our One SHE Framework establishes minimum standards applicable to all employees, temporary staff and contractors across AstraZeneca sites and all business areas and functions.
We manage SHE risks, opportunities and performance using effective management systems through the ‘Plan, Do, Check, Act’ process, enabling continuous improvement. This requires effective leadership, open communication and every employee’s commitment to themselves, colleagues, the workplace, the communities where we operate and the environment.
