Welcome to
Chiesi group
As a family-owned company, many of our more than 7,000 employees have been with us for 10, 15, 20 years or more, finding alignment with our values and mission. We believe everyone has the right to meaningful work, the freedom to define what that means, and the agency to create a fulfilling career path. Our company culture values the person behind the work and empowers them to make a lasting positive impact, whether on patients, the planet, or their colleagues.
Chiesi has been named one of the 25 World’s Best Workplaces™ in 2024 by Great Place To Work® (GPTW) and Fortune magazine, ranking 23rd on the list. This is the first time that Chiesi has been included in the GPTW global list, standing out as the first Italian company ever to achieve this honor.
Great Place To Work® and Fortune's annual list highlights 25 global organizations based on 7.4 million employee survey responses from 20 million workers worldwide. To qualify, companies must appear on at least five regional Best Workplaces™ lists across various continents in 2023 or early 2024.
In 2024 Chiesi was also ranked as one of the top 10 Best Workplaces in Europe™, and it was recognized by Fortune as one of the Great Places to Work in Biopharma in the U.S., Best Workplaces for Women™ in Greater China, UK's Best Workplaces in BioPharma™, and UK's Best Workplaces for Development™, among other accolades.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
At Chiesi, diversity is the existence of multiple personal characteristics that makes each individual unique. From ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, mindset, and lifestyle, to other invisible diversities, we recognize that each of these facets is to be respected and appreciated.
We are actively combating gender inequalities within our organization, and one of our significant accomplishments has been eliminating the unexplained gender pay gap across the Chiesi Group.
From a global unexplained gender pay gap of -1.48% in 2021, we have meaningfully reduced it to a statistically insignificant -0.77% in 2022. This progress outperforms the average pay gap in the healthcare sector.
Acknowledging that salary is just one aspect of equality, Chiesi initiated various programs to ensure equal career advancement for all genders. These initiatives focus on fostering work-life balance with targeted programs such as Parenthood Guide, Women’s progression in leadership roles or mentoring and coaching programs.
In 2024 Chiesi introduced the Global Disability and Caregiver Equity Challenge for the period 2024-2030. This initiative aims to turn challenges faced by individuals with disabilities into opportunities for growth and collaboration. By recognizing and leveraging the unique potential of each individual, we strive to create an environment where expressing needs is encouraged and the representation of people with disabilities in our workforce is increased.
Chiesi Affinity Networks (CANs) are employee-led groups dedicated to fostering diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
These voluntary groups unite individuals with shared identities, interests, or experiences, providing a platform for open discussions that promote a sense of belonging and safety.
Chiesi actively supports CANs by having leadership members sponsor selected groups, facilitating meetings during work hours in company facilities, and emphasizing their importance alongside other business priorities.
Every one of us is different, Every one of us is Chiesi.
