In 2017, West employees have worked diligently to help the communities in which we live and work. Through West without Borders, West's employee-led giving program, employees have raised more than $3 million for a variety of charities around the world.
The program focuses on four key areas:
In 2017, West facilities in Exton, PA and Horsens, Denmark took on the challenge of fundraising for organizations that support diabetes research. These campaigns reinforced West’s commitment to fighting diabetes, and providing injectable drug administration and delivery solutions for diabetes patients.
In Exton, employees had the opportunity to participate in a West without Borders campaign that supported the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). The organization leads global efforts to fund type 1 diabetes research. Highlights of the campaign included a learning session for employees on diabetes, hemoglobin H1C level testing and multiple fundraising events benefiting the JDRF.
In Horsens, employees contributed to diabetes research by fundraising for the Danish Diabetes Association, which has supported diabetes patients since 1940 and is one of the largest associations of patients in Denmark. Our team in Horsens collected DKK 14.427,50 through events such as an auction and a BBQ led by Jan Loekken, Director, Operations.
These diabetes campaigns are just a small part of the charitable work that West employees perform each year. Community involvement and generosity with time and resources is a cornerstone of West’s identity. Our culture of giving, strengthened by programs like West without Borders, helps us to achieve our mission of creating a healthier world.

Each year, on November 14, World Diabetes Day (WDD) is recognized around the world. WDD was created in 1991 in response to growing concerns about the escalating health threat posed by diabetes. It is the world’s largest diabetes awareness campaign, reaching a global audience of over 1 billion people in more than 160 countries.
On November 14, World Diabetes Day will be observed around the globe. Diabetes is a growing issue, with more than 415 million adults living with the disease, a number that is expected to increase to 642 million – or 1 in 10 adults – by 2040.
Philanthropy is a cornerstone of our culture at West. It anchors our purpose of standing by the side of our customers to make a difference in our global community.
