Charitable Contributions and Community Impact

Bio-Rad encourages us to support our communities, and any charitable contributions must be consistent with company policy.

As a champion of community involvement, Bio-Rad is committed to our customers and to promoting science, so we do what we can to make a positive difference. One way we show that commitment is through our participation in charitable activities, both as a company and as individuals.

Participation in any Bio-Rad-sponsored charitable activities is always voluntary, and any commitment of Bio-Rad funds or asset to a charitable activity is governed by our approval process and our policies. Company contributions also must comply with all applicable laws and cannot be made, or appear to be made, for the purpose of improperly influencing any business partner or government official.
 

Any volunteer activity or use of Bio-Rad resources or facilities for charitable functions must also follow our guidelines and receive proper approval. If you have questions about our policies regarding charitable activities, please consult the resources listed in this section.

Sponsorship and the use of Bio-Rad’s name may be approved for activities Bio-Rad deems appropriate, such as the formation of a company team. Bio-Rad, however, will not sponsor religious, political, or athletic organizations, organizations outside the immediate geographic area, or organizations that discriminate on any basis.
