Hologic, Inc.’s leadership in championing the health of women, their families and their communities continues to expand globally as shown in the company’s new sustainability report titled “Our Commitment Knows No Bounds.”
The annual report spotlights how Hologic leverages its financial strength, derived from its innovative medical technologies, to increasingly elevate the well-being of women. It features a wide range of social responsibility efforts, including providing unique data on the state of women’s health worldwide, giving philanthropic support to hundreds of nonprofit organizations and forging key partnerships to underscore the importance of making preventive care a top priority.
“We strive to exemplify the societal benefits private enterprise can drive with a thoughtful, courageous and unconventional approach to everything we do. These words are embedded into the very fiber of our culture,” said Hologic Chairman, President and CEO Stephen P. MacMillan.
This culture comes to life because of Hologic’s approximately 7,000 highly engaged team members from across the continents. The company ranks in the 97th percentile of employee engagement among similar-sized employers worldwide, earning Gallup’s top workplace award for the past three years. Hologic also has received nearly two dozen other awards for workplace excellence, world-changing ideas and other aspects of sustainability from independent evaluators such as the Drucker Institute, The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones, Fortune, Forbes, Fast Company and Barron’s.
Hologic’s sustainability achievements in fiscal year 2023 (FY23) included:
