Ilmac and Life Science Cares Switzerland are uniting science with social impact. Together, we’re advancing innovation while opening doors for those who need it most.

The life sciences industry is a symbol of technological excellence and scientific progress, but it also carries a social responsibility. That’s where the partnership between Ilmac and the nonprofit Life Science Cares Switzerland comes in: together, we’re channeling the power of science to make a difference where it’s needed most.

Who is Life Science Cares Switzerland?

Life Science Cares Switzerland  is a cross-industry initiative led by companies from the life sciences sector. Its mission: to improve access to education, employment, and healthcare for people facing disadvantage. Whether through volunteering, or financial contributions, Life Science Cares offers diverse ways to make a meaningful impact.

Founded in Switzerland and inspired by its U.S. counterpart, the initiative brings together industry players and local nonprofits to create targeted, measurable support and long-term partnerships.

Volunteering that Creates Real Change

Life Science Cares Switzerland pays particular attention to corporate volunteering. Because commitment is more than just a donation, it is personal involvement with a lasting effect.

• Volunteering, e.g. to collect and distribute surplus food to social institutions

Life Science Cares Switzerland, evaluates and arranges suitable projects, coordinates the assignments and ensures that any help actually arrives.
