MORE POTENTIAL for Communities & our People

People with disabilities face barriers that make it difficult for them to participate in everyday life. Barriers present not only as a lack of accessibility or of assistive technologies, but also as prevalent negative attitudes such as stigma, stereotyping, discrimination, and prejudice. Our Making More Health (MMH) partner organizations from Argentina and Colombia, Andar and Fedar, are sharing their knowledge to help overcome these barriers.

Making More Health (MMH) is one of our flagship initiatives aimed at creating healthy, inclusive, and sustainable communities around the world. We spoke to Dr. Ilka Wicke, Head of Sustainability Social, about how it has evolved and where it is headed.

A sense of belonging is at the heart of every strong team. With over 53,000 people working together to achieve the objectives of our company, all of them create value by bringing in different skills, experiences, and perspectives. But what does ‘belonging’ really mean?

A central element of our corporate responsibility.
