The shareholders as expressed in the Leitbild and the Board of Managing Directors together share the commitment to nurture at Boehringer Ingelheim a diverse, collaborative and open environment. It is part of our culture, therefore part of who we are. It helps to maintain our competitiveness as it allows us to better understand our diverse customers and markets.

Our slogan merging the two Animal Health businesses is to be “One With The Power Of Two”. It is about treating each other with respect, trust and empathy, and growing together by leveraging the diversity of two great company cultures into one. I strongly believe in developing an exceptional place to work where all employees feel engaged, valuable, and contribute to our success. We are creating an inclusive culture and have the ambition to develop our people to their maximum potential.
