  • Improving the Future of Epileptic Patients

    Mireille Cayreyre, Sanofi Aventis
    Sanofi

    Epilepsy is not a cause of significant mental impediments. Nevertheless, it is often falsely perceived as a mental disorder in developing countries. Although epilepsy is not fatal, patients who do not receive treatment will experience serious difficulties over their lifetime. In addition to the disease being a handicap in daily life and work, over time, people with epilepsy face social marginalization or even exclusion. In turn, the social group itself is deprived of their economic and social contributions. To address this disease in developing countries, all of these factors need to be taken into account. Sanofi-aventis, as a leader in the global pharmaceutical industry, is thus providing developing countries not only facilitated access to its quality medicines, but also a large number of health services that respond to their specific needs.

  • Blueprints for Change – The Sustainability Imperative

    Susanne Stormer, Novo Nordisk
    Novo Nordisk

    50 – 50 – 50. By 2050 there will be 50 percent more people in the world, and we will have been responsible for reducing global carbon emissions by 50 percent. A seemingly simple equation, yet a tall challenge. It makes it painfully clear that sustainable development hinges on our ability to manage growth sustainably and not only make up for the harm we inflict on the global ecosystem, but also to effectively decouple economic value creation from environmental degradation and social inequality.  more[...]  login_required
