We strive to serve patients by transforming the promise of science and biotechnology into therapies that have the power to restore health or save lives. In everything we do, we aim to fulfil our mission to serve patients. And every step of the way, we are guided by the values that define us.
Our mission – To Serve Patients – drives all that we do. It is a global vision that for 40 years has seen us be the best possible partner to the health ecosystem. A partner that is committed to a sustainable contribution to healthcare through biosimilars and innovative medicines.
Our eight core values guide how we conduct business. Our global community of more than 23,000 scientists and professionals bring distinct perspectives and experiences to all we do, ensuring that we do the best possible job for the benefit of all stakeholders.
Our success depends on superior scientific innovation, integrity and continuous improvement in all aspects of our business through the application of the scientific method. We see the scientific method as a multi-step process that includes designing the right experiment, collecting and analyzing data and rational decision making. It is not subjective or emotional, but rather a logical, open and rational process. Applying the scientific method in all parts of the organization is expected and highly valued.
We compete against time, past performance and industry rivals to rapidly achieve high quality results. Winning requires taking risks. We cannot be lulled into complacency by previous achievements. Though we compete intensely, we maintain high ethical standards and demand integrity in our dealings with competitors, customers, partners and each other.
We provide value by focusing on the needs of patients. Amgen creates a work environment that provides opportunities for staff members to reach their full potential. We strive to provide stockholders with superior long-term returns while balancing the needs of patients, staff and stockholders.
We are relentless in applying the highest ethical standards to our products, services and communications.
Every job at Amgen is important and every Amgen staff member is important.

Quality is a cornerstone of all of our activities. We seek the highest quality information, decisions and people. We produce high quality products and services. Quality is woven into the fabric of everything we do.
Our teams work quickly to move scientific breakthroughs from the lab through the clinic to the marketplace and to support other aspects of our business.
