CSL Ltd Annual Report 2019

19 Support for local communities Local community initiatives are centred on engaging employees in local giving, both financially and through volunteered time. These programs invite the broader participation of our employees in the community. While seeking to address a community need or gap, support for the local community encourages teamwork and collaboration and builds a sense of pride in the workplace and organisation. A number of activities are undertaken across our sites to support local organisations. Picture parents leaving their kids at the company’s day-care centre “Froschkoenig”, and the same parents working flexible hours that allow them to spend more time with their families. Imagine a holiday camp for the children of employees, helping parents who need childcare during the six-week summer break from school. In 2018, CSL Behring received the award “Continuity and Sustainability” for its activities centred on “Family Friendliness”, a seal of quality from the City of Marburg and Marburg-Biedenkopf County for supporting parents in the workplace. Organised by CSL Behring’s local human resources team, eight 2-week theme holiday camps give children, aged 6 to 12, the opportunity to enjoy educational experiences, ranging from exploring the forest to serving as honorary scientists. The Marburg site has offered the camps for 12 consecutive years. Employees at Marburg were also named “People of Respect” in 2018 by the German State Government of Hesse, in recognition of their support for the community. Since 2010, CSL Behring employees have been giving “cents for a good cause”, in which they donate the cents from their monthly net earnings to benefit local causes. In awarding the honour, officials noted that the idea for the initiative started with employees, was supported by management and is a beacon of social responsibility that should inspire other companies. Family-friendly and “People of Respect” recognition in Marburg For years, the community of employees at CSL Behring’s leading-edge manufacturing site in Marburg, Germany, has embodied what a successful family-friendly workplace looks like.
