Corporate Impact

Our impact extends beyond the protective and life-saving solutions we deliver to address health threats around the world.

We’re committed to being a responsible corporate citizen: contributing to the well-being of the communities we’re part of while continually working to evolve how our company operates.

As a mission-driven organization, I think volunteering is an important part of our culture at Emergent. When we can help people, we should.

— Liz Hanpeter, VP Global Government & Public Affairs

Donation decisions are made independent from our product sales and marketing activities.

    It is also important to understand that our corporate social responsibility program does not process grant requests for independent scientific research, medical education or commercial sponsorship, which are governed under separate procedures.

    • Association memberships or dues
    • Political campaigns, causes or events
    • Alumni fundraising drives
    • Continuing medical education, investigator-initiated research studies or collaborative research studies (direct these requests to Medical Affairs)

    • Infrastructural projects (such as facility expansion or repair)
    • Memorial funds or crowdsourcing campaigns (such as GoFundMe)
    • Professional or amateur sports events, teams or athletes
    • Religious organizations (except for programs that are broadly promoted, available to anyone and free from religious orientation)
    • Fraternal or labor organizations
    • Special occasion goodwill advertising, including ad books, programs and yearbooks
    • Travels, tours or recreational activities

Featured impact story:

Supporting Recovery Beyond Treatment

Having donated approximately $30,000 since 2021, Emergent supports Mid-Michigan Recovery Services’ (MMRS) Lightkeepers program. MMRS is the Lansing region’s largest and longest-serving nonprofit provider of substance use recovery programs. Drug and alcohol treatment is a long-term commitment that frequently requires patients to put their lives on hold. They often come out of treatment jobless. To help set them up for success when they leave the program, residents of the MMRS recovery housing unit are eligible to enroll in the Lightkeepers program, which provides paid on-the-job training in building trades. In addition to gaining dignity of work, learning marketable skills and earning an income, the Lightkeepers program enhances and expands the same programs that served these residents and helps MMRS to serve the community better.

To further support MMRS, our Lansing employees annually pack hygiene kits containing items such as soap, toothpaste and combs for clients to receive upon arriving for treatment.

Environmental, Social and Governance

Being a responsible corporate citizen means continuing to evolve and improve how our company operates. We strive to deliver on our high standards daily and work to ensure that in doing so, we consider our impact on the environment, society and those within our value chain. We do this because it is core to who we are.
