PITTSBURGH, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS), a global healthcare company, today announced that it has been named to Forbes' World's Top Companies for Women 2024 List. This award is presented in collaboration with Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.

This accolade is a true testament to the continued progress we are making in growing and supporting our female talent and the inclusive culture we are building at Viatris."

The World's Top Companies for Women 2024 were chosen among multi-national corporations that were evaluated in multiple globally administered independent surveys of approximately 100,000 women in 37 countries. Over 750,000 data points were collected. The final analysis is based on:

• Employer Brand Score: Women were asked to rate how their employer performs across a series of gender-related topics and their overall willingness to recommend their employer, as well as evaluate other employers in their respective industries.
• Public Opinion Score: A women-only public opinion survey measured how women perceive companies in terms of gender equality.
• Leadership Score: Objective criteria (i.e., the presence of a female CEO and the share of board/executive committee positions filled by women) were gathered.

"At Viatris, we embrace every colleague's unique experiences, perspectives and skills and are committed to ensuring women are at the table when important decisions are made, including those that affect other women and their access to high-quality healthcare," said Lara Ramsburg, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Viatris, and Executive Sponsor of EmpoWer, Viatris' women's Employee Resource Group.
