Notes
-
APO is defined as Asia Pacific Region.
- EMEA is defined as Europe, Middle East, and Africa.
- Data regarding gender are based on self-identification by our global employees and use the traditional gender category of women (or female) to align with U.S. government reporting requirements. IDEXX deeply respects that gender is nonbinary, and reporting in this manner does not represent our and our Board members' position on this issue.
- Data regarding racial and ethnic representation are based on self-identification by our U.S. employees and our Board members only; racial and ethnic diversity is defined as African American/Black, Asian, Hispanic/Latinx, Middle Eastern/North African, and other. The percentages provided do not add up to 100% because some U.S. employees declined to specify race and/or ethnicity.
- Other is defined as American American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, and two or more races.
- Global Senior Leaders are employees in compensation grades considered Director or above.
- Global Senior Executives are employees in compensation grades considered Senior Vice President or above.
