Help for Ukraine
The employees of the Galenica Group are following the war in Ukraine with horror and bewilderment. To help the people on the ground, Galenica has launched two immediate initiatives.
Under the lead of Galexis and together with suppliers and partner organisations, the Galenica Group is providing medical supplies such as bandages, disinfectants and medicines. A first shipment of medicines and consumables for hospitals will leave Galexis' distribution center in Niederbipp for Ukraine in the next few days.
Galenica is also encouraging its employees to donate to Swiss Solidarity. Galenica will pay in the total amount donated by employees once again, so that each donation will be doubled. By Friday, 4 March 2022, approximately CHF 60,000 have already been donated by employees.
