Global community impact

Overview

Boston Scientific is dedicated to transforming lives through innovative medical solutions that improve the health of patients around the world. Our caring value is central to everything we do. Through our global community impact programming, we empower Boston Scientific employees to drive meaningful, long-lasting change in the communities around the world where they live and work. 

Approach

We support sustainable change with programs that:

  • Elevate community leadership: We share employee expertise with local community organizations facing resource challenges, transferring skills that help make a lasting impact. Read more about our Social Change Champions program.
  • Accelerate giving: We magnify our employees' generous contributions to meaningful community causes through avenues such as our Matching Gifts program, fundraising tools and relief campaigns. 
  • Amplify culture: We make sure our global efforts reflect our values and contribute to building our culture, as shown by our employee scholarship program and our global Week of Caring and Season of Giving campaigns.
