Amgen has once again earned a spot on Fortune's list of the World’s Most Admired Companies. Amgen ranked 6th out of 17 within the biopharmaceutical peer group and made a notable five-place improvement in the People Management category for this year.
The recognition is a testament not only to Amgen’s decades-long commitment to serving patients around the world, but also for being a mission-driven organization that attracts top talent, develops impactful leaders and fosters a culture of corporate responsibility.
Each year, Fortune teams up with Korn Ferry to create the World’s Most Admired Companies list by surveying “top executives and directors from eligible companies, along with financial analysts, to identify the organizations with the strongest corporate reputation within their industries and across all sectors.”
This evaluation cuts across a wide range of reputation-driving attributes, including innovation, people management, use of corporate assets, social responsibility, management quality, financial soundness, long-term investment value, quality of products/services, and global competitiveness.
