Community and Social Harmony

At MicroPort we are enthusiastic about improving the wellbeing of people and communities. Our Business Philosophy is grounded in concepts of contributing toward social harmony, and our dedication to improving lives through scientific medical innovation is equalled by our committed approach to social responsibility through a variety of community focused programs.

We work in partnership with the Shanghai Charity Foundation to provide the M.I.M Charity Project which makes available our medical devices to those in need. We also have established several charitable foundations which work to improve the health and educational opportunities for disadvantage sections of our community.

For example, in 2007 we established a company wide campaign to build the MicroPort Hope Primary School in an impoverished area of China. Because of the generous donations of employees the new school is now providing educational opportunities for children who may not previously have had access to education.

In 2006 MicroPort founded a scholarship fund for the Zhangjiang Institute of Innovation. The Institute is dedicated to the training, supply and exchange of talents for enterprises in Zhangjiang Park. Our scholarships provide help for students with financial hardship who have exhibited a high academic standard, and excel in finance and research activities.

We have also established the MicroPort Aspiration & Encouragement Scholarship Fund for the College of Medical Instrument at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology. The scholarship is dedicated to assisting students facing financial hardships who are outstanding in both their moral character and academic achievements.

In 2008, we made a donation to University of Shanghai for Science and Technology to establish a medical device library and information centre.

Through these and many other programs, and our philanthropic funding commitments MircroPort is supporting ongoing health care, educational and cultural programs in our
community.

Our biggest environmental impact is created within our properties and manufacturing facilities, and through the use of raw materials, electricity, gas, paper, and waste generation. We therefore invest in the latest technology to reduce our carbon emissions through energy efficient equipment, and we ensure responsible sourcing of materials. Internally, we are proactive in addressing our waste and recycling issues.
