Our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) program is committed to advancing our mission, knowing that embracing diverse perspectives makes way for innovation.
This innovative spirit goes beyond our products: we believe there is a place for DEI innovation across business decisions and behaviors. Transparency in our commitments and processes highlights equity we can act upon. Building inclusive leadership skills empowers teams to cultivate belonging. Driving internal representation that reflects our communities, stakeholders, and customers, positions Illumina to better meet the needs of our global market.
In all of this, we are anchored in the philosophy of practice, which reminds us that regardless of where we start, we all have opportunity to make a positive, inclusive impact each day.

Our pay practices are designed to compensate employees based on factors such as job performance, expertise, and experience relevant to individual geography. We believe no one should be paid differently due to their gender, race, age, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or national origin. For this reason, we monitor our pay equity status and market competitiveness on an annual basis to ensure we offer equal pay.
Since 2019 we have maintained a zero net pay gap across gender, race, age, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or national origin.
