for our neighbours

2007 in Brazil, Boehringer Ingelheim launched a
two-year social responsibility programme, "Conectar", directed at
disabled people to help them prepare for the jobs market (many have
never been employed). It also supported Alliance for Life Association (ALIVI) that provides shelter and care to adults and children living with AIDS.
Promoting equal opportunity

An employment assistance programme in the
favelas of São Paulo is another example of how we actively promote
fairness and equal opportunity. The company’s human resources
professionals, voluntarily and in co-operation with those of other
organisations, provide youngsters with poor prospects hands-on
training and support in employment counselling, identifying ways to
move forward and ensuring professional and emotional back-up. |
