Our Culture

Innovation: the driving force behind everything we do.

Innovation may be what defines us, but even more important is the way in which we conduct business. These are the values that form the foundation of our company:

Integrity that embraces the very highest standards of honesty, ethical behaviour and exemplary moral character; Excellence that is reflected in our continuous search for new ways to improve the performance of our business to become the best at what we do; Respect for people, which includes our concern for the interests of all people worldwide who touch — or are touched by — our company: customers, employees, shareholders, partners, suppliers, and communities;

The Lilly IT Organisation

At Lilly, IT is more than technology; it's about information that connects Lilly's innovation to patients. Here at Lilly, IT professionals have a unique cross-functional view of the organisation and drive business outcomes through operational support, solutions and services. Lilly IT is connecting people to people, people to information, and people to processes ultimately allowing Lilly to deliver best-in-class, first-in-class pharmaceutical products.
