CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP

At Biogen Idec, we are proud that our products make a difference in the lives of the patients we serve. But our commitment to improving lives doesn't stop with patients — the men and women of Biogen Idec are also dedicated to our community and the world at large.

There are many ways in which Biogen Idec makes a contribution. For example:

Community Lab

Sustainability

The future of our business depends on natural resources. Consequently, operating in an environmentally responsible manner is both good for our business and a central tenet in our dedication to sound corporate citizenship. Find out more about sustainability.

Medical Community Support

We make educational grants to qualified non-profit and select for-profit organizations dedicated to providing educational programs. Educational grants are awarded for a specific medical, scientific, or patient activity which is designed to educate healthcare professionals or patients in the therapeutic areas we serve. Find out more about medical community support.

Patient Services

At Biogen Idec, we believe that providing comprehensive support for our patients is just as important as developing therapies. Our Patient Services programs help patients and their caregivers better understand and manage their disease and its treatment. Find out more about Patient Services.

The company is also proud to support volunteer activities at each of our three operating sites: Cambridge MA, San Diego CA, and Research Triangle Park, NC. Most of these programs are initiated and supported by employees. They include walkathons and bike-a-thons, employee clothing drives, and individual volunteerism dedicated to improving the health and welfare of our neighbors in surrounding communities.
