Communities

We make a positive impact on society, not only by enabling our customers’ success, but also through the power of our products and technologies and the influence of our Thermo Fisher Scientific Foundation of Science. We aim to inspire the next generation of innovators, improve health outcomes among historically underserved populations and embrace our colleagues’ passion for strengthening the communities in which we live and work. Our collaborations with nonprofit organizations, industry and governments help drive more equitable outcomes for society.

Our colleagues connect directly with their local communities to identify volunteer and philanthropic opportunities through our employee-led Community Action Councils (CACs). We further empower our employees to support organizations they care about through our matching gifts program.

We also believe that any opportunity to work with students is an opportunity to ignite the spark that may inspire our next great thinkers and leaders. Fulfilling our Mission depends on developing bright, young talent to push the boundaries of our existing technologies and innovate for the future. We are leveraging our extraordinary internal capabilities to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. Our partnerships with non-profit organizations that promote STEM enable us to not only support successful programs, but also to provide employees with additional volunteer opportunities.

The investment in our communities is part of the way we do business, which is reflected in our company goal tree, a set of targets cascaded across all areas of the business and to each employee, ensuring the programs that support our community continue to grow and drive impact across the globe.
