CLAUDE’S STORY Meet donor Claude Farmer Claude Farmer is a donor at CSL Plasma in Medford, Oregon, and has been donating plasma since 2010: “I feel delighted that I can do something beneficial to myself and also to someone in need… it is good to give back to those in need, those who may not have exactly what they need from their own body. “It also helps me financially, helps to have a little extra saved up and is a way to do more for my friends and family.” Plasma Donor Partners Plasma donors are the lifeblood of CSL. Without their generous commitment, we simply could not develop life-saving therapies for patients. In addition to financial compensation, we support donors’ holistic wellbeing and invest in the health equity of donor communities. We are also working to improve the experience for donors by using new technology to design individualised donations based on height, weight and hematocrit (proportion of red blood cells in a person’s blood), and introducing a range of initiatives to reduce the time it takes to donate. For example, we have introduced more than 200 new plasmapheresis machines (known as Rika) which has reduced the average overall donation time from 90–120 minutes to 60–80 minutes. Economic ripple effects A source of life-saving plasma, our donor centres also deliver economic benefits within local communities. We have close to 330 plasma centres based across the U.S., Germany and Hungary. Each year, we generate an average of $6 million in economic activity per donor centre, creating durable impact in our communities – driven by donor payments, employee wages and local community spending. In the U.S., for example, a typical donor centre employs approximately 50 full‑time equivalent (FTE) staff and pays around $2 million annually in direct wages. 6 Limited Our Impact 2025 About CSL From our CEO Healthier Communities Science and Medicine Legacy Lifesaving Medicines
