Diversity and Inclusion
Be who you truly are

We are stronger, smarter and faster when we truly champion our people’s unique selves and views. To help solve the world’s most critical diseases, we need a global and diverse perspective. And this is where YOU can help.

Building an inclusive & open culture 

We work together to provide safe spaces. Our employee resource groups (ERGs) help you build strong relationships with people with shared experiences and active allies, and ensure that your perspective is voiced.

Inclusivity is really important here

The inclusive culture at abcam has really enabled me to be myself at work and thrive here. I have particularly enjoyed setting up abcam’s Rainbow Community (ARC) employee resource group. Our mission is to support the LGBTQ+ community by making abcam an authentically inclusive place to work where everyone can realise their full potential.

I can now get my degree

Doing a degree was something I always wanted to do but due to economic circumstances growing up I was never able to. When abcam offered degree apprenticeships suitable to my role as a full stack engineer, I was ecstatic at the prospect. I am currently in Year 2 BSc (Hons) Digital and Technology Solutions. My mentor, line managers and HR have been very supportive. They have ensured I get the time, resources and guidance needed to focus and do well, as well as helping me maintain balance and focus on my family.

Here's how we're making progress

Knowing our people

We get to know who we are through equality monitoring where everyone gets the chance to self-identify certain characteristics, which means we find out how we see ourselves.

Celebrating allyship
Launched our Abcam Equals campaign to promote allyship with a day of celebration where we got to share what allyship means to us.
