Our Communities
At Baxter, we are committed to saving and sustaining lives and creating stronger communities.
Every day, we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the people who depend on our products, and in the communities where we live and work.
Volunteerism
We are actively engaged in creating long-term, meaningful change in our communities, and to offering our colleagues a place to pursue rewarding careers by giving back. We volunteer our time and resources, helping implement sustainable solutions to challenges facing our communities, acting as mentors and role models, and assisting those most in need.
Volunteering in Ireland
Employees are actively encouraged to give back in their local communities and provide help and assistance to benefit others. We currently support Junior Achievement Ireland to bridge the gap between school and the world of work and to inspire students at risk of early school leaving to remain in education. Baxter employees engage with local schools and teach programmes to children at both primary and secondary level. Feedback from our employees always shows how rewarding this is for them all.
Baxter Employee Engagement Programmes
Scholarships
The Baxter International Foundation Scholarship programme provides renewable scholarships for university education for children of Baxter employees worldwide. Awards are in support of undergraduate study and are merit-based. A third-party agency evaluates all applications.
Baxter Employee Disaster Relief Programme
The Baxter Employee Disaster Relief Fund was created to help employees who are facing financial hardship from property damage following a natural disaster. The fund relies primarily on individual donations from Baxter colleagues. Baxter International Foundation provided seed funding and covers all administrative costs to allow 100% of employee donations to reach fellow colleagues.
