Social commitment – also in 2023 together with employees
The partnership with "there for you" – an important pillar of Galenica’s social commitment – makes it possible to support projects that are particularly important to Galenica employees.
Galenica has been the main partner of the crowd-donating platform "there for you" since 2022. The digital platform makes it possible to collect donations for social, humanitarian and sustainable projects. The platform operators guarantee a careful selection of initiatives and the greatest possible transparency, from project implementation through to completion. For us, the partnership with "there for you" is one of the pillars of our social commitment.
In this context, the involvement of employees is important to us. In summer 2023, an online event was held at which the initiators and a representative of "there for you" had the opportunity to present three specific aid projects in person. Our employees were then able to vote for the project that is particularly close to their hearts. The project initiators were overwhelmingly grateful, which they expressed in video messages or through heartfelt words in a letter.
In December 2023, employees could select additional projects via an online vote on the intranet, and these projects then received donations before Christmas. This included an initiative for student sponsorships for protection against genital mutilation.
The partnership with there for you is continuing and employees will also be involved in the project selection process in 2024.
