"There are numerous definitions of Corporate Social Responsibility. At Ciba we focus on how we do business in a responsible manner, how we treat our employees and how we play our part as a member of local communities. We are convinced that our continued success as a Company can be good for business, for the environment, for our employees and for the communities where we operate."
Armin Meyer

The framework for corporate social responsibility at Ciba has three core elements:

• A clear social policy and code of conduct governing how we do business
• Human resource policies and practices that develop and encourage, reward and recognize our employees at all levels
• Consistent community relations; that is, appropriate local approaches to foster dialogue with our stakeholders as well as good corporate citizenship, both of which contribute to the communities in which we operate.
