Inclusion & Diversity
Our Commitment to Inclusion & Diversity
A commitment to inclusion and diversity (I&D) is embedded in all we do at Baxter, including how we operate our business, develop and market our products, expand access to care and give back to our communities. Our I&D commitment influences our daily actions to help all feel seen, heard and valued, and enhances the experiences of our employees, customers and their patients.
At Baxter, our I&D strategy is focused on behaviors (our daily actions) and structures (equitable and bias-free internal and external policies, systems and practices). These efforts span four strategic pillars:
- Culture: Cultivate an inclusive and equitable employee experience for all.
- Operations: Leverage different perspectives in how we operate our business.
- Community: Enhance Baxter’s reputation as an employer that gives back to address unmet needs in our communities.
- Marketplace: Expand access to care and health equity for all patient and customer populations worldwide.

We Support Business Resource Groups
Our Business Resource Groups (BRGs) are an important component of creating an inclusive culture and advancing our priorities as a company. These groups provide a forum for all employees to enhance personal growth and multicultural understanding while strengthening relationships among employees, customers and business and community partners. We currently have nine BRGs that are open and welcome to all employees: Alliance for Baxter Women, Asian Leadership Network, BaxVET, Black Professional Alliance, Early Career Professionals, enABLES, HOLA, Baxter MultiCultural Network and PRIDE.
