We care for our neighbours
 

Educational engagement
  In Latin America, the company has a long, solid tradition of charitable activities. In Brazil, Boehringer Ingelheim launched a two-year social responsibility programme, "Conectar", directed at disabled people to help them prepare for jobs market (many have never been employed).
Brazil
  An employment assistance programme in the favelas of São Paulo is another example of how we actively promote fairness and equal opportunity. The company’s human resources professionals, voluntarily and in co-operation with those of other organisations, provide youngsters with poor prospects hands-on training and support in employment counselling, identifying ways to move forward and ensuring professional and emotional back-up.
Mexico
  In 2006, our Mexican subsidiary concluded its support programme for educating 6,370 poor children in schools in Xochimilco (Mexico City) by installing media rooms.
Venezuela
  In Venezuela, the company gives training to the doctors at the respiratory care centres in Chacao neighbourhood and the Hospital Pérez de León in Caracas. The hospital also receives free medicines and equipment.
Colombia
  In Colombia, we not only contribute to healthcare and schooling for people in our immediate community, but also support two foundations: the Padre Luna Farms, which help battered children and teach agricultural labourers; and Fundafidro, an organisation working with health-related issues in deprived neighbourhoods.
Indonesia
  Despite the extraordinary challenges of the tsunami disaster in 2004 and the Earthquake on the Indonesian island of Java in 2006, Boehringer Ingelheim Indonesia succeeded in continuing its established community-awareness programme, giving general medical treatment to hundreds of needy people near the company’s Bogor plant as well as fostering educational improvement.
