Philanthropy

Philanthropy stands as a cornerstone of West’s culture, reinforcing our commitment to making a lasting impact through strategic and corporate sustainability–focused initiatives.

West’s charitable giving framework is separated into three tiers:

  1. Corporate Giving through direct charitable gifts made by West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc., and its subsidiaries. This giving is focused on STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), ESG and Community Services, improving access to health care and research for people with disabilities.
  2. Foundation Giving through the Herman O. West Foundation, which is focused on West’s Scholarship Program, the Employee Emergency Fund, Employee and Campaign Matching, and Dollars for Doers, which encourages employee volunteerism.
  3. Employee Giving through our West without Borders* campaigns, which supports our annual global giving campaigns, food drives, local campaigns and global volunteerism.

In 2024, West donated nearly $5 million in total charitable giving, with $2.78 million in charitable donations, concentrated on sustainability, healthcare access and STEM education. Our team member volunteered over 4,300 hours to give back to their communities, a 20% increase over 2023.
