PITTSBURGH, Oct. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS), a global pharmaceutical company, today announced that it has been named to Forbes' list of World's Best Employers 2022. Viatris has received this recognition in each of its first two years since launching in 2020 as a new company. For 2022, Viatris is ranked in the top 10% of the 800 global employers who made the list. This recognition is presented by Forbes and Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.

"As a champion of providing access to sustainable and high-quality healthcare, we are pleased to be recognized again by Forbes as one of the World's Best Employers," said Michael Goettler, Chief Executive Officer, Viatris.

Their efforts drive the performance-driven, highly engaging, and inclusive culture that allows us to make a positive impact on peoples' lives and meaningful contributions in the world."

The World's Best Employers 2022 title is intended to reinforce companies that provide excellent employment opportunities at the local and international level. To determine the 2022 ranking, Statista surveyed 150,000 full-time and part-time workers from 57 countries working for multinational companies and institutions. All the surveys were anonymous, allowing participants to share their opinions openly. The respondents were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family and were also asked to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stood out either positively or negatively. Participants were asked to rate the companies on aspects such as economic impact and image, talent development, gender equality, and social responsibility.

"This recognition is validation of the significant actions we continue to make to cultivate a strong, inclusive, and diverse culture to support our employees around the world," said Andrew Enrietti, Chief Human Relations Officer, Viatris. "We know that what makes us special and successful is that we work together, all of us at Viatris.
