CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN RUSSIA At Astellas, we know we can change the lives of people who need our help, at least in the country where we live and work. Within the framework of Corporate Social Responsibility, the Russian branch of Astellas has a partner in charitable activities - the Udelna boarding school for orphans and children from disadvantaged families. This project, tentatively titled "Help the Children", was launched in September 2009 with the campaign "Let's Get the Children to School!" As part of this action, the pupils of the Udelna boarding school were given sets of school supplies for the beginning of the school year. Together with the company's employees and members of their families, the Boarding School regularly hosts a variety of charitable events: preparation for the winter cold, cleaning the territory, planting trees, as well as conducting entertainment and educational excursions for children.
