Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) has been named to Fast Company’s list of
Best Workplaces for Innovators for 2023. Zoetis is the only
stand-alone animal health company to be included on this year’s
list which honors businesses that demonstrate a commitment to
encouraging innovation at all levels.
“Our innovative culture means we are always seeking to
understand how we can meet our customers’ next unmet need,” said
Rob Polzer, Executive Vice President and President, Research &
Development. “As the world leader in animal health, our scientists
are exploring innovations across the continuum of animal healthcare
- from prediction to prevention, detection and treatment – so we
can help pets live longer, healthier lives and keep farm animals
healthier and more productive.”
Driven by a purpose to nurture the world and humankind by
advancing care for animals and underscored by a strong culture,
several initiatives contributed to Zoetis being named to the
list:
- Developing game-changing innovation for pets, including leading
dermatology products for dogs and, most recently, monoclonal
antibody treatments for controlling pain associated with
osteoarthritis in dogs and cats.
- Rapid development of a COVID-19 vaccine for animals and
subsequent donation of more than 26,000 doses of the vaccine to
hundreds of zoos in over a dozen countries, including the U.S.,
Canada and Chile, to help protect the health and well-being of more
than 300 mammalian species of zoo animals.
- Expanded operations at the company’s location in Durham, N.C.,
hiring additional engineers and opening a new site dedicated to
diagnostics and biodevices R&D. The new site, including 23,000
square feet of total lab space allotted for science, engineering
testing and support, serves as a hub for science and engineering
talent within Zoetis.
- Collaborating with the partners to the Pastoral Greenhouse Gas
Research Consortium (PGgRC) and New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse
Gas Research Centre (NZAGRC) to explore research mechanisms that
may inhibit methane emissions from cattle and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions.
- Unique colleague learning and development opportunities at the
company’s R&D location in Spain, where colleagues rotate
through assignments, instead of a more traditional and siloed
approach, to learn all aspects of vaccine research and development,
and in Brazil where colleagues use electronic devices and
technology to promote and nurture an innovative idea-sharing
culture across functions including research, manufacturing and
commercial operations.
“Our innovative culture at Zoetis is supported by our core
beliefs. In particular, “Run It Like You Own It” stands for
accountability and ownership from each colleague,” said Evelyn
Ortiz, Chief Talent, Diversity and Inclusion Officer at Zoetis. “As
part of our commitment to our colleagues, we strive to create an
environment where they feel valued and cared for, which fosters
innovation and our colleagues’ best work.”
Developed in collaboration with Accenture, the 2023 Best
Workplaces for Innovators ranks 100 winners from a variety of
industries, including entertainment, biotech, consumer packaged
goods, marketing, education, healthcare, and many more. Zoetis
ranked 60th on this year’s list. Fast Company editors and Accenture
researchers worked together to score nearly 1,000 submissions, and
a panel of eight distinguished judges reviewed and endorsed the top
100 companies. The 2023 awards feature workplaces from around the
world.
