HELPING THE UNDERPRIVILEGED Poverty alleviation is not only the responsibility of governmental departments, but also needs to be jointly cultivated by different sectors in society, and the Group has always been on the road of poverty alleviation based on this philosophy. In October 2018, Zhongshan issued a poverty alleviation initiative to all sectors in society, hoping to motivate enterprises and all sectors to help the underprivileged in society. The Group's Zhongshan Company actively responded to the government's call to fulfill its corporate social responsibility, where a donation of RMB200,000 of drugs was donated to Suijiang Red Cross in Yunnan. The director of Zhongshan Company has attached great importance to this donation as he coordinated and arranged the related work on his own. 11 kinds of commonly used drugs such as amoxicillin capsules, cefuroxime axetil tablets and levofloxacin hydrochloride eye drops were donated. The drugs were delivered to the patients and the underprivileged and their families, reducing their medical burden and relieving economic pressure. In addition, we also care for the underprivileged staff of the Group. We identify the employees and their families with difficulties through visits, from which we can understand their needs and hence provide corresponding assistance. During the Year, the trade union of Inner Mongolia Company has carried out regular home visit investigation work to the underprivileged employees to implement a plan for family poverty alleviation, and at the same time to encourage the employees to maintain a positive attitude to stay strong in life, overcoming the difficulties through our assistance and by their own efforts. CARE FOR THE COMMUNITY Considering the needs of the community is an important part in leading the enterprise towards sustainable development, hence we always regard the subsidiaries and the communities in which the production sites are located at as important stakeholders of the Group. The Group has been paying attention to the medical needs of the community. In addition to our unremitting efforts in developing and popularizing various types of drugs, we are also enthusiastic about the community's voluntary blood donation that we encourage our employees to help those in need in the community. During the year, the Group has continued to promote blood donation. Zhuhai Company has won the “Provincial Blood Donation Promotion Award in 2016-2017” in recognition of our employees' selfless contribution. Disaster relief support is also another area of community work of ​ ​the Group. We uphold the spirit of "one party in difficult, all parties support". In addition to making donations for relief work, we have also formed volunteer service teams of employees to carry out disaster relief work. During the Year, Inner Mongolia Company has fully participated in the drought relief work in the Bayannur Economic and Technological Development Zone, and a total amount of RMB300,000 was donated to help the affected people getting through the difficulties. In addition, after the typhoon in September 2018, Zhongshan Company has also arranged employees to actively participate in the post-disaster clearing work, fulfilling the social responsibility that should be fulfilled by the Group. 40 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2018 The United Laboratories International Holdings Limited
