Every day at Genentech, our employees actively engage in a multitude of experiences that nurture a sense of belonging by embracing the increasingly diverse world around us. Our Diversity Network Association (DNA) groups are dedicated to promoting inclusivity and fostering professional growth through a wide range of culturally inclusive experiences, igniting inspiration among our employees to unlock their full potential and make meaningful contributions.
Our 16 DNA Groups, spanning across 38 chapters, bring together around 8,500 members at 255 events, creating a vibrant tapestry of connection and collaboration. African Americans in Biotechnology (AAIB), our very first DNA Group, marked their 30th anniversary and VIDA, our Hispanic/Latinx-focused DNA Group, celebrated 25 years of growth and success. Organized by the South Asian Network at Genentech (SANG), 750 employees from various backgrounds celebrated Diwali, a festival symbolizing the victory of good over evil. Our gPRIDE DNA Group organized participation in the San Francisco Pride Parade, which holds a special place in the hearts of many in the Genentech community. Employees and their families gathered at our Street Suite or marched alongside our parade float while fostering inclusivity and unity.
