Corporate Responsibility

At Alexion, we embrace bold ideas and learn from the world around us to help improve our communities with a focus on health & wellness and STEAM education (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math).

Global Day of Service

Alexion held its second annual Global Day of Service in November 2017. More than 1,300 employees volunteered 5,000 hours of time to deliver positive, immediate, and transformative results in dozens of communities around the world. Volunteers beautified schools, held educational workshops, packed meals for those in need, lent a hand at homeless shelters and rehabilitation centers, and much more. We look forward to building on this tradition of service and imagining the possibilities for future projects.

Alexion in the Community

In addition to the dozens of existing partnerships Alexion is currently engaged in, we launched a number of charitable initiatives in New Haven in 2016. We began the year by launching a daily grant-giving initiative called “Here in New Haven” to celebrate the move into our new global headquarters. We also launched our first competitive grant program, asking our partners in the community to reflect Alexion’s mission by identifying an overlooked issue and presenting their innovative solution. After receiving dozens of submissions, Liberty Community Services’ RESPECT Work Program was chosen as the recipient of a $100,000 grant to help individuals facing homelessness in New Haven get back to work through beautification projects across city.

Sustainability

Looking Toward a Sustainable Future

Our New Haven, Conn., facility represents best-in-class design, construction, maintenance and operation of a green building. The building has achieved LEED Platinum certification for Commercial Interiors, the highest green building certification possible through the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating standard.

The result is a building that is environmentally responsible, saves money and resources, and has a positive impact on the health and productivity of those who work in it.
