Zoetis Releases 2022 Sustainability Report to Share Progress in Building a Better Future for People, Animals and the Planet - Seite 2

The report also highlights progress made since 2020 toward the company’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) aspirations for 2025, including:

• Increased representation of women at the director level and above globally from 32% to 37%, aspiring to reach 40% by 2025
• Increased representation of Black colleagues in the U.S. from 4.0% to 4.8%, aspiring to reach 5% by 2025
• Increased representation of people of color at all levels in the U.S. from 21.0% to 24.6%, aspiring to reach 25% by 2025
• Increased representation of Latinx colleagues from 5.0% to 6.4%, exceeding our aspiration of reaching 6% by 2025

The Zoetis executive team is now 60% women and 40% from racially or ethnically diverse backgrounds, including Asian, Black and Hispanic/Latinx.

As part of ongoing efforts to support colleagues, Zoetis signed on to PrideVMC’s Gender Identity Bill of Rights (GIBOR), a document that affirms the rights of transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming persons, and provides guidance on how workplaces can support their employees by identifying and eliminating discriminatory practices. Zoetis engaged with 1,236 global active members across eight Colleague Resource Groups and launched Cultural Explorer training in eight languages to encourage respectful curiosity and open conversation about differences to deepen mutual understanding and value for colleagues’ unique contributions to the workplace.

Animals - Innovation in Animal Health

With the world’s population approaching the United Nations projected 10 billion people by 2050, some of our greatest challenges are emerging at the intersection of human, animal, environmental and economic health. By enhancing the health of livestock, innovative solutions can help contribute to the economic and environmental well-being of farmers and communities as well as support global food security.

In 2022, Zoetis received approval for several livestock vaccines in additional markets, which support the Health for Animals Roadmap to Reducing the Need for Antibiotics. This includes recombinant vector vaccines in Brazil, India, Mexico, and the U.S. that can positively impact welfare and productivity of poultry, as well as expanded regulatory approval for a vaccine to help protect cattle against Mycoplasma bovis. Additional new products support cattle producers’ health and productivity goals as well as pork producers’ animal welfare and productivity goals, all to improve their sustainability. Zoetis also announced a research collaboration with scientists in New Zealand to explore mechanisms that may inhibit methane emissions from grazing ruminants and, in turn, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Furthermore, the company invested in research to support understanding how genetic testing and genomic predictions can help improve dairy cattle health outcomes by reducing disease incidence and antibiotic use while also improving productivity.
