OUR PURPOSE PIONEERING SCIENCE REPORTING 99 ADVANCING PURPOSE AND SERVING HUMANITY THROUGH CORPORATE GIVING BIOGEN 2021 YEAR IN REVIEW PATIENTS OUR PEOPLE ENVIRONMENT COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT Clinic patient-centered resilience survey To make sure the toolkit addressed the most important climate- related patient care challenges, the collaborators surveyed more than 450 clinic staff across 47 U.S. states and territories on their climate health knowledge, risks and needs. The survey produced a wealth of insights including the following: In-kind contributions Our in-kind donations have aided numerous organizations in helping others live and thrive. This year, we provided personal protective equipment for healthcare workers through Americares; donated repurposed office furniture through Healthy Climate, Healthy Lives; and offered kitchen space at Biogen’s headquarters for Food For Free’s Heat-n-Eats program. Healthy Climate, Healthy Lives™ Through Biogen’s Healthy Climate, Healthy Lives™ , Biogen supports efforts that directly address climate, equity and health in our communities. For example, in 2021, we provided scholarship funding for low-income students to participate in the inaugural Harvard Chan C-CHANGE Youth Summit, a week-long program that trained students to be climate and public health leaders in their communities. Of the student attendees, 76% of scholarship recipients self-identified as a racial or ethnic minority or as first-generation college students. At the outset of the program, 60% of students said they had a limited understanding of climate, public health and equity. By the program’s close, 100% said they had an intermediate or advanced understanding and had built relationships that would help drive their continued engagement on these critical subjects. of clinic staff say their clinic has experienced some kind of disruption due to extreme weather within the past three years. Fewer than 1 in 5 clinic staff feel their clinic is very resilient in the face of extreme weather. of clinic staff say they do not have the knowledge or tools to implement climate change preparedness at their clinic, and more than 95% say they are motivated to use new resources to make change. 81% 77% < 20%
