We believe that the costs associated with medical treatments should not be a barrier to patient access. Today, only a few countries have a dedicated process to review and fund medicines for rare diseases.
As part of our commitment to the rare disease community in the US, we offer the Shire ACES (Award for Collegiate Education from Shire) Scholarship. The scholarship provides a $5,000 grant, which may be renewed annually for up to three years, to cover educational expenses at an undergraduate college or vocational school. Recent high school graduates and equally qualified students with a rare disease may apply.
We believe small efforts can add up to a big impact and our sites have the data to prove it. Thanks to local initiatives and the combined efforts of our employees we were able to increase recycling and our landfill diversion rate by over 25 percent from 2014 to 2015.
Every year we invest in local projects designed to make a difference to disadvantaged young people and their families. This includes supporting projects that provide career inspiration for students with special needs to donating surplus supplies of much needed equipment to schools.
We're proud of the progress we are making. Responsibility has always been embedded in our business. It underpins our daily work, our decisions, and our relationships and remains with us as we move even further into complex and challenging areas. Our commitment to Responsibility remains steadfast.
