But we’re also setting an industry example through our sustainability program —including environmental and community outreach, such as STEM education and volunteering. The impact is local, national and, ultimately, global. STEM education We’ve made it our business for years to support STEM education—talking to students, their teachers and their parents. Our goal is to share what we know about how these fields are crucial—and even transformative—to all of our futures. Environmental sustainability We go beyond basic green measures. We are frontrunners in energy management and efficiency improvement, making us part of an innovative leadership movement focused on long-term energy conservation and a sustainable—yet competitive—future. Sustainability isn’t just about the environment anymore. It’s also about performance and social responsibility. Our commitment to our business, our industry and our employees is to make all of these elements a strategic priority. Matt Bell Chief Operating Officer Our People Elizabeth Every summer, I spend one week at a camp for kids with cancer. I’ve been doing this for 15 years. Having MedImmune subsidize my participation at this terrific camp as part of its corporate responsibility volunteer initiative has been remarkably meaningful. Sian For two years I helped to run a sponsored walk in Cambridge, UK to help raise money for Oxfam’s emergency fund. I compiled route maps and instructions, coordinated route signage and on the day I coordinated the whole event. It was fantastic to be part of the event and know that we were raising money for a worthy cause. Yelena I have been volunteering on weekends as a medic with Red Cross First Aid Service Team(FAST) for 3.5 years now. We provide basic life support to patients and escalate to more advanced medical support when there is a need.
