Concordia is proud to announce the addition of Horizon Therapeutics to its community as a 2021 Annual Summit Patron Sponsor.
Horizon is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of medicines that address critical needs for people impacted by rare, autoimmune and severe inflammatory diseases. Applying scientific expertise and courage to bring clinically meaningful therapies to patients, Horizon believes that science and compassion must work together to transform lives, and has made meaningful contributions to patients living with rare conditions and the local communities in which they work and live. The organization also demonstrates its values having achieved pay equity, meaning all Horizon employees are paid equally for equal work regardless of gender or ethnicity, according to a recent study by Aon.
At this year’s Annual Summit, Horizon will host a Main Stage session showcasing various strategies that can be adopted across sectors and industries to close the pay gap and ultimately achieve pay equity. From examining laws and public policies that guarantee decent work for all, to exploring corporate regulations that advance diversity and inclusion, Horizon will bring a unique perspective and prompt cross-sector solutions.
“COVID-19 has exacerbated the pay gap, leaving millions in a vulnerable position and highlighting the fact that we still have a long way to go to achieve true pay equity,” commented Matthew Swift, Concordia’s Co-Founder & CEO. “We’re thrilled to be welcoming Horizon Therapeutics to our community to address today’s growing pay gap and explore the measures that can be taken by the private sector to urgently close this gap.”
“Horizon believes that equal pay is foundational. This stems from our leadership’s fundamental understanding of the value of diversity and how it can have a positive impact that echoes across our company, the communities where we live and the patients we serve,” said Irina Konstantinovsky, chief human resources officer and chief diversity officer at Horizon.
