Delivering Excellence: Celebrating Quality, Safety & Compliance Month at Amgen

Quality, Safety & Compliance (QSC) Month recognizes the power of every role and the collective impact of Amgen staff in achieving their mission to serve patients worldwide.

At Amgen, quality, safety and compliance represent more than just organizational functions. These elements are deeply embedded in the company culture and serve as the foundation for future breakthroughs. In November, Amgen's annual Quality Month evolved into Quality, Safety & Compliance (QSC) Month, reflecting a broader commitment to the highest standards across all areas of work.

The Power of Every Role: How Employees Across Amgen Are Driving Excellence

Every function and role at Amgen plays a vital part in ensuring patients receive the highest quality therapies. Across research, development, manufacturing and the field, Amgen staff are the heart of the organization-bringing integrity, innovation and actively caring to every moment that moves science forward and serves patients. By asking questions, raising concerns and sharing ideas, Amgen employees help manage risk and strengthen our commitment to integrity, quality, safety and innovation.

Here's what some Amgen colleagues have to say about how these values show up in their day-to-day work:

"In Operations, every decision we make, whether on the floor or in a meeting, has a direct impact on patient safety and product quality. That's why speaking up isn't optional; it's essential. 'Be Ethical' isn't just a value, it's a mindset we carry into every shift. At Amgen, our voice is our first line of defense, and using it is how we protect each other, our patients and our purpose."

- Sofie Levecque, Director, Manufacturing

"A strong focus on health and safety creates an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to do their best. When we know our well-being is a priority, we can concentrate fully on our work and maintain the highest quality standards. By fostering a culture of safety where we actively care for one another, we ensure every patient receives the highest quality medicine."

- Aine Heffernan, Senior Associate, Manufacturing

"In Research and Development, safety and quality are the foundation of discovery. Every experiment, every data point and every decision must meet the highest standards because they directly influence the medicines we bring to patients. By prioritizing rigorous science and uncompromising safety, we ensure innovation translates into therapies that are not only effective but also trusted. It's how we honor our responsibility to patients and shape the future of medicine."

- Judy Fenyk-Melody, Executive Director, Research

"Continuous improvement is a productivity engine for Amgen's global supply quality. We always seek better ways to improve the work we do and the processes we run. The productivity gains we made have created bandwidth for our staff, allowing them more time to focus on the essential work we do to serve patients. Our team's ongoing commitment to continuous improvement, combined with strong leadership sponsorship, keeps the productivity engine going."

- Allen Harmon, VP Global Supplier Quality

"In Commercial, quality, safety and compliance are not separate from how we achieve our mission. They are the foundation that enables us to serve patients with confidence and represent our license to operate and our commitment to doing what's right, every time. Because our teams are at the forefront of engaging with customers, we continuously remind ourselves that every interaction is an opportunity to uphold Amgen's standards and strengthen trust. By doing so, we ensure that every innovation we bring forward truly delivers value and reliability to the patients who rely on us."

- Suhee Shin, General Manager
