Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
For each and every one of us at Ferring, our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is integral to the way we work. We know that it is the combination of our diverse backgrounds, experiences, expertise, and perspectives that enables us to find solutions to the most challenging problems, so that together we achieve our mission to help people live better lives.
We nurture excellence by celebrating diversity and inclusion among our employees, our patients and their growing families. By bringing together passionate individuals, each with their diverse set of skills, talents, and experiences, we can be the best advocates for our patients and each other.
Brent Ragans
President, Ferring U.S.
Our inclusive community is representative of the full spectrum of human differences with people from diverse genders, ages, ethnicities, physical appearances, sexual orientations, religions, educational backgrounds and more. We believe the inclusion of all elements of diversity brings engagement and motivation in our workday, and also contributes to the success of our company. Ferring is a place where a wide range of thinking and ideas can be shared openly with respect, support and encouragement.
Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ambition is built into all aspects of our business, fostering an inclusive culture where all aspects of diversity are embraced, everyone feels a sense of belonging and we are all enabled to thrive.
As a Company, we are on a continual journey of awareness and understanding as we work to build an even more inclusive environment where we all have a sense of belonging and an equal opportunity to thrive, develop and succeed. Having a growth mindset increases our productivity and fosters our innovation.

Employee Resource Groups
At Ferring, you belong.
Our voluntary, employee-led Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) provide our employees with valuable opportunities to connect with colleagues, network, develop professionally and make an impact. These inclusive organizations are typically formed based upon shared characteristics or life experiences, but all are welcome to join as allies even if they do not share the same characteristics.
Living Our Commitment
At Ferring, we are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion across our company and in the work that we do every day.
We strive to build and maintain an inclusive and diverse workplace with equal opportunities and mutual respect for all employees.
Breaking Barriers, Building Families
One way we’re living this commitment is through the launch of our new initiative, Breaking Barriers, Building Families.
We believe that everyone deserves the chance to experience the profound joy of building a family. And for more than 50 years, this belief has fueled our passion for advancing fertility care. But, for far too many in underrepresented communities, parenthood remains particularly challenging.1
To help address this need, Breaking Barriers, Building Families was created based on the shared desire with others from across the community to help bring about change for aspiring parents in underrepresented communities.
Our first endeavor, the FertilityEquity™ e-Learning modules – created by Morehouse School of Medicine with support from Ferring Pharmaceuticals – are designed to educate healthcare professionals and fertility clinic staff about the importance of equitable, compassionate fertility care, particularly for Black women.
