Alexion is proud to support the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) by investing in the NAACP Empowerment Programs. Their mission of securing the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights in order to eliminate racism and ensure the health and well-being of all persons aligns with our focus, culture and values at Alexion.
The current global pandemic has had a profound impact on many communities around the world, arguably the most profound being on the senior citizen community. During a recent day off, three of Alexion’s employees in Japan volunteered their time to virtually visit nursing home residents. Using Zoom to facilitate the visits, volunteers and seniors hit it off with jokes, laughs, and conversations about their hobbies and interests, as well as current events.
Alexion is committed to serving local communities through volunteerism, even when circumstances do not allow us to do so in person. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and local stay-at-home orders, Alexion has begun offering virtual volunteering opportunities to employees.
