BUPA’S CONTRIBUTIONS

Supporting better healthcare

With the sole purpose of advancing healthcare, Bupa has a number of foundations — in the UK, Spain and Australia. The foundations fund research and education projects to help deliver effective and affordable patient-centred healthcare. Since their inception, the foundations have funded pioneering studies which have resulted in diverse benefits, from new approaches to managing chronic conditions to improved understanding of healthcare inequalities.

 

The foundations invest many millions every year in initiatives across the globe.

Active in communities

We encourage our employees to share their healthcare expertise and skills and in any single year around 8,000 people give more than 81,000 hours of their time to their local communities. We also match the money Bupa people raise for charities across the world.

 

Protecting environmental sustainability

Population growth and climate change will bring rising social costs, migration, increases in both hunger and obesity and scarcer natural resources. We managed to reduce 3% of our international carbon footprint in 2009, although still in the early stages of our environmental journey, we are committed to making a positive contribution in the long term, which is why we have taken steps to reduce our carbon footprint.
