PISCATAWAY, N.J., Aug. 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 19, GenScript
Biotech Corporation (referred to as GenScript) officially launched
the "GenTeer (GenScript Volunteer) Program," an innovative global
philanthropy platform. This initiative marks a significant step for
GenScript, transitioning from organizing isolated charity events to
building a global volunteer service ecosystem. The platform is
designed to empower every GenScript employee to engage in
philanthropy in a personalized and effective manner, uniting
individual and team efforts to provide tangible support and care to
communities worldwide in need.
Comprehensive Philanthropic Engagement Across Environmental
and Social Spheres
The "GenTeer" platform is deeply rooted in GenScript's corporate
culture and core values, with a pragmatic approach that aligns with
the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) framework. It
leverages the expertise of GenScript employees to focus on critical
issues such as environmental protection, support for vulnerable
groups, improving education and healthcare in underdeveloped
regions, promoting social equity and gender equality, and providing
disaster relief. By precisely addressing societal needs, the
platform aims to maximize the impact of GenScript's philanthropic
efforts.
In line with its commitment to authentic and efficient
philanthropy, GenScript is dedicated to making a real difference
for those in need. This year, the company plans to center its
initiatives around core ESG issues, with a special focus on
biotechnology, emphasizing "supporting biotech education" as the
annual theme. Global volunteer teams will tailor their action plans
to local needs, encouraging employee participation and creating a
collective force for good.
Furthermore, GenScript encourages its global employees to be
ambassadors of philanthropy, using their influence to engage
customers, partners, and even family members in volunteer work,
spreading compassion more broadly. To this end, GenScript has
established a Global Volunteer Corps among its employees, launched
the G-HELP Corporate Social Responsibility initiative, and
introduced a "1000-Hour" volunteer service challenge to inspire
greater involvement in charitable activities.
Global Engagement in the GenTeer Dream
Since the announcement of the GenTeer program, it has received
enthusiastic support from GenScript employees in countries
including the United States,
China, France, Spain, Japan,
South Korea, India, and Singapore. They have expressed a strong desire
to incorporate their personal expertise into philanthropic efforts,
helping those in need within their communities and beyond. This
spirit of cross-border collaboration embodies the core values of
the GenTeer program.
Sherry Shao, GenScript Group's
rotating CEO, emphasized, "Our company not only bears the
responsibility of advancing scientific progress but also upholds
the mission of Make People and Nature Healthier Through
Biotechnology. Turning expertise into power to alleviate suffering
and add value to society is deeply ingrained in our corporate
culture. GenTeer will become a shared identity for GenScript
volunteers worldwide, guiding us to transcend boundaries and work
together to help more people and create a broader impact."
As a company with a long-standing commitment to corporate social
responsibility, GenScript believes that philanthropy is not about a
few people doing a lot but about many people each doing a little.
Over time, voluntary participation by many can become a driving
force for social progress. During its 20th anniversary, GenScript
partnered with charitable organizations to raise awareness and
support for rare diseases through initiatives like art exhibitions,
charity runs, and the innovative "GenScript Nanjing University
100km Relay." In response to natural disasters, such as the
earthquake in Jishishan County, Gansu
Province, GenScript swiftly mobilized its employees to raise
500,000 RMB to support the affected
communities. Looking ahead, GenScript's philanthropic journey will
continue to expand its influence, attracting more employees and
compassionate individuals worldwide to join in using the power of
science to light the way for those in need.
