FY23 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Progress Report

A look back at our DEI progress

In our fiscal year 2023 (FY23), we brought all the companies and services of AmerisourceBergen together under one new name, Cencora. Not only did this change enable us to take a more unified approach to how we advance pharmaceutical care, but it also gave us the opportunity to evolve our focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across our entire enterprise.

We spent this year working globally to integrate our teams and enhance our culture of inclusion, as well as leverage benchmarks of availability for talent in the marketplace to assess whether we were attracting and retaining our fair share of great talent. By creating a deeper sense of belonging among our team members, we helped our people connect with our purpose and empowered them to advance health equity by working with our partners to increase access to healthcare services and accelerate patient outcomes.
