Corporate Social Responsibility

At Coloplast, responsibility has always been an important part of our way of doing business. As a manufacturer of intimate health care products, we know that our success rests on our ability to listen to users and the trust that we build with our customers by acting responsibly.

We believe it is important to be active within our global and local community. Here is a flavour of just some of the activities we are involved in:

Wheelchair Rugby

We are the proud sponsors of the Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby Coloplast Super Series. Coloplast has worked with GBWR for a number of years because we wish to give people with disabilities an opportunity to play sport at a high level and because wheelchair rugby is a very competitive and exciting sport.

Annual Charity

Coloplast works very hard to build close relationships with complementary charities such as the Spinal Injuries Association. We also choose a specific charity to support through staff fundraising activities. This year's designated charity is Spinal Injuries Together.

In addition, we are involved with some fundraising activities for the Matt Hampson Foundation which will be our designated charity next year.

So do we deliver?

"I am really grateful that Coloplast funded my Master of Philosophy at the University of Birmingham. In particular I would like to thank Sue Kernahan, who recognised my passion for bowel cancer prevention and supported the theme of 'Healthy bowel awareness in the workplace'.

It has been a challenge to complete the thesis and work full time but I now feel it has been worth it. I am certain that the skills I have gained will help and support me in my work at Coloplast. I am keen that my skills for workplace health promotion can be used in my role here and the educational level I have gained will provide a recognition from the health care professionals I come into contact with during my working life.

Therefore, I feel the investment that Coloplast has made in me will reflect positively in my work and private life now and in the future."

"I have just completed my Post Graduate CIM, which has been a fantastic and great opportunity. I have learned a lot and it has been really relevant to my job. It is a great personal achievement and Coloplast supported me not only financially but by allowing me time off to study and take my exams. I would never have done it without this support."
