Improving quality of life sits at the heart of our purpose, Life Unlimited, and one of the ways that we put people first is by championing volunteering in our local communities. Our team in Italy have been using their volunteering hours to support nearby cooperative, Cascina Nibai - part of Cascina Biblioteca Cooperativa, in delivering their social inclusion activities at the farmstead. The team helped out with the childrens’ activities, cleaned the premises and prepared Christmas boxes.
We were pleased to be a supporting sponsor of the AdvaMed MedTech Conference in Toronto.

Our Talent team were also on hand to connect with the future innovators of our field.
Orthopaedic surgeons play a pivotal role in the advancement of technology, so it's our privilege to celebrate their leadership.

As a symbol of their contribution to innovation and an unwavering dedication to helping patients live a Life Unlimited, it cements our commitment to support all surgeons with pioneering, cutting-edge technology.
From September 15 to October 15 for Hispanic Heritage Month we recognise the Hispanic and Latino Americans who have contributed to society - past and present. Celebrate this month through appreciating their traditions, and cultural richness which brings a unique diversity to society that we all can benefit from 🙌
For us, volunteering means seeking opportunities to give back to the communities right on our office doorsteps globally. For instance, our team in Fort Worth recently helped cook dinner for 80 residents of the city’s Ronald McDonald House. The House provides a place for families to stay overnight whilst their child is in hospital, reducing the stress and financial burden on parents who need to travel for a child’s healthcare needs. As well as preparing the meal, the team took a tour of the house and met with staff to learn more about the charity’s mission.
Showing purpose with purple 💜 Teams in Australia and New Zealand dressed in violet and made donations for ‘Wear It Purple’ Day, which promotes awareness of young people’s LGBTQI+ experiences and the importance of allyship. As part of the day, employees recorded a podcast, where two members of our PRIDE Employee Inclusion Group discussed inclusivity and role models in the workplace. We strive to create a culture of belonging where all employees can bring their full selves and best ideas.
Our support of green transport is making a buzz in Costa Rica.
