The association was founded in 2005 as a long-distance adoption project. In addition to having contributed to its establishment, IBSA continues to sponsor and develop the project. Through its day-care facility and music school, Casa Dos Curumins fulfils the dreams and aspirations of over 400 children and adolescents of all ages who live in the slum towns of Pedreira, in the southern suburbs of Sao Paulo in Brazil. The aim of the project is to provide youngsters with a concrete alternative to the hunger, violence and human degradation that surrounds them, by supporting them until they complete their professional training and find a job. It achieves the social inclusion of emarginated children and adolescents, by promoting human values, an artistic, cultural and environmental education, sports activities and professional training, in order to forge well-rounded, loving and happy human beings, who live in harmony with others and the environment, and are in possession of both academic and professional skills.
NEW IBSA PARTNERSHIP WITH BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL WOMEN TICINO LAUNCHED IN 2020
As part of its commitment to sharing some of the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN’s 2030 Agenda, and in particular that regarding Gender Equality, IBSA has decided to partner with and support Business and Professional Women Ticino. The purpose of this association is to protect the interests of professionally-active women and it belongs, through BPW Switzerland, to BPW International - the world’s largest women’s network (with 30,000 members).
The partnership with BPW Ticino originated from the sharing of certain common values: IBSA has always been committed to equal pay and career opportunity equality, as testified by the fact that 47% of its managers and department heads are women. Founded in 1983, BPW Ticino currently consists of 70 members: business women, self-employed professionals and employees from different professional backgrounds of all ages and various nationalities.
The BPW mission translates into a variety of activities and events regarding, amongst other things, training, mentoring, networking. One of the association’s main focuses is equal pay between men and women, alongside other projects, such as: Ticino Empowerment, Women on Boards, Equality Means Business, Mentoring and Equal Pay Day. BPW Switzerland has 2,300 members nationwide, in all the different linguistic areas of the country, who take an active role in professional, cultural, civic and social activities. Members partake in activities promoted through local, national and international networks, such as: decisive partnerships in economics, society and politics, mentoring and continuing professional development schemes, and partnerships with European and international institutions like the UN and the Council of Europe.
BPW International, which like BPW Switzerland is inspired by values of personal responsibility, independence and self-determination, also acts as advisor to the UN’s Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and as an observer with various other United Nations organisations.
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BANCO FARMACEUTICO MEDICINES BANK
IBSA first partnered with the Banco Farmaceutico medicines bank in 2013 as a pro-bono initiative to strengthen the idea of giving as an essential part of our vision of sustainable and inclusive development.
In 6 years, IBSA Farmaceutici has donated a total of 247 thousand packs of medicines, including the deployment, in 2018, of 6,000 packs to the operating theatres staffed by the Italian Armed Forces serving disadvantaged populations overseas.
The partnership has grown from year to year to include other activities, including, since 2016, the publication of the Health Poverty Report.
This Report provides an analysis that is especially helpful in understanding and preventing the phenomena associated with the difficulties in accessing healthcare in Italy. The support that IBSA provides to the medicines bank and the team that worked on the Report is perfectly consistent with the Corporate Social Responsibility programme implemented by the Company since its foundation. Caring for people and their welfare form the common basis of all our social responsibility projects.
In Form von Diskussionen und Filmvorführungen rückt das Festival das Thema Menschenrechte in den Mittelpunkt. Ziel ist es, das Bewusstsein für dessen Bedeutung in der breiten Öffentlichkeit zu stärken, Filmschaffenden eine Stimme zu geben, die Kino als Ausdrucksform und Instrument der Freiheit nutzen, Menschenrechtsverletzungen anzuprangern und jenen Raum zu geben, die sich aktiv für die Achtung dieser Rechte einsetzen. Gleichzeitig unterstützt das Festival Kampagnen, die sich für die Würde der Menschen engagieren und macht sie sichtbar. Die Unterstützung durch IBSA steht für das Bestreben, Werte für die lokale Gemeinschaft und kommende Generationen zu schaffen. IBSA zählt zu den Hauptsponsoren des Festivals und bekräftigte damit sein Engagement, den Dialog über Themen der Inklusion und sozialen Verantwortung zu fördern.

IBSAs Projekt „Sailing into the Future. Together“ konzentriert sich auf eine Sportart – das Segeln – und macht sie zu einem Mittel, um Bewusstsein für Themen wie Inklusion und soziale Integration zu schaffen. Dies geschieht in Zusammenarbeit mit Organisationen, die Segelinitiativen für Menschen mit Behinderungen fördern. Inklusive Segelprojekte ins Leben zu rufen bedeutet, kulturellen und sozialen Wandel zu unterstützen und eine bereichernde Reise zu gestalten, von der alle Beteiligten profitieren. Sport wird so zu einem Instrument, um Fähigkeiten und Talente zu entdecken – über körperliche und kognitive Beeinträchtigungen hinaus. Gleichzeitig bietet er eine Chance, Selbstvertrauen zu stärken, gemeinsame Erlebnisse zu schaffen und gegenseitigen Respekt zu fördern. Mit diesen Zielen vor Augen haben wir Partnerschaften mit mehreren Segelorganisationen in der Schweiz, Italien, Frankreich, Spanien und den Vereinigten Staaten aufgebaut.
