Lonza

Breakthrough innovations happen when a culture is genuinely collaborative, inclusive and supportive. Our teams are proud to create inclusive partnerships with our customers. Strong relationships unlock their potential to improve lives, long into the future. We make sure our culture supports the people that work for us, too. We bring together different strengths, interests, and backgrounds. We create an environment where new ideas are welcomed, understood and brought to life. Every day, we strive to create an environment where our people can do their best work and be proud of the results they achieve.

Curiosity is what drives us. Never being satisfied and always hungry for the next innovation. Lonza’s environment is agile, flexible and constantly adapting. We need talented people to ask questions, challenge norms and inspire fresh ways of thinking.

Curiosity leads to discovery; the discovery of new and better ways to develop medicines and products that improve lives. We bring together the best and brightest in life sciences, and we enable them to work on market-leading innovations.

The transformation of technologies, markets, entire industries and, ultimately, the world is real progress. We believe in the impact of our work; it drives and directs our focus on success.

We pride ourselves on being progressive and forward-thinking in every aspect of our organization. And when it comes to Diversity & Inclusion, we offer a combination of awareness and education programs, often in partnership with relevant groups and organizations.
