Patients and People
At Parexel, improving patients’ lives is our mission, and putting people first is our culture. From our patients and workforce to our suppliers and partners, we aim to ensure that everyone has a role to play in our mission to advance social sustainability. We believe that diversity in race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, pregnancy and lactation status, among other differences, is key to our success. With a global outlook and cross-functional, multidisciplinary expertise, we’re working together to build a better world.
In every proposal we strive to include the patient perspective to reduce burden and optimize the protocol. Patients have told us that they want to be empowered with more of their own data to make informed decisions. In response we’re leveraging the use of AI and digital tools to improve engagement and enhance experiences.

Environmental Responsibility
As a company focused on advancing world health, Parexel has a deep responsibility to minimize the risks posed to human health by climate change. Across our business we strive to reduce our environmental footprint while increasing our operational excellence. Whether it’s leading the adoption of decentralized clinical trials, scaling back our resource consumption or reducing our physical office footprint, we actively seek innovative ways to do our part to create a healthier planet.
Parexel recognizes that our work impacts our patients and our world. We take a holistic approach to assessing our business practices and identify areas where we can make improvements to reduce our environmental footprint.

Ethics, Values and Compliance
Our core values represent what we stand for and what we believe in — Patients First, Quality, Respect and Empowerment and Accountability. We believe it’s not just about the results we achieve but how we achieve them — by conducting business with honesty, integrity and respect.
In today’s complex environment, ethics and compliance have emerged as paramount pillars for sustainable success. Upholding the highest standards of ethics not only builds trust among stakeholders, it fosters a culture of integrity that drives innovation and fosters long-term resilience. Compliance, on the other hand, ensures that we not only meet legal requirements but also demonstrate our commitment to ethical conduct. By prioritizing ethics and compliance, we not only protect Parexel’s reputation, but also contribute to a better world for all.
