CSL Ltd Annual Report 2019

CSL Behring this year was recognised by the Philadelphia Inquirer , the leading daily publication in the Philadelphia-region, for its support of Young Men andWomen in Charge (YMWIC), a Philadelphia-area program that works to empower and prepare youth to become leaders in STEM fields. CSL Behring hosts YMWIC participants several times a year for mentoring sessions that range from brand-building workshops to shadowing CSL Behring professionals on the job. For CSL Behring, it’s a chance to support the local community while making an early investment in STEM leaders of tomorrow. With Seqirus’ Holly Springs facility located in North Carolina, this was particularly close to home. Populations impacted by natural disasters are especially vulnerable, often having to flee homes without medications, which is particularly dangerous if they suffer from chronic medical conditions that are already at increased risk of complications of influenza. Seqirus donated 20,000 doses of influenza vaccine to support the disaster relief efforts. Seqirus also donated 20,000 doses of influenza vaccine in February 2019 to help protect vulnerable islander communities of Puerto Rico. The response is a result of a spike in influenza cases experienced by communities rebuilding after the deadly category five Hurricane Maria struck the country in 2017. STEM program earns community award Disaster relief As part of its promise to science, CSL Behring is committed to promoting educational opportunities for students interested in pursuing a career in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields.
