CSR Award for the Medicover Foundation
The prize recognises the lifetime charitable activities of the Foundation.

The award for the Foundation honours its charity work aimed at promotion of healthy lifestyle and employee volunteer work. Currently, the largest project carried out by the Foundation is PoZdro!, the National Programme for Prevention of Diabetes and Lifestyle Diseases. Other initiatives include the Charity Bike Tour “Together Against Diabetes Type 2”, the support for the Alarm Clock Clinic of Ewa Błaszczyk, the preparation of Christmas Eve supper at Janusz Korczak Orphanage in Warsaw, the support for pre-adoption centres in Otwock and Częstochowa, and Medicover Runners – the initiative aimed at the employees of the Medicover Group.

The jury also considered the Foundation’s international projects, including e.g. the support for Ukrainian citizens who suffered during the armed conflict in their country; the support for the hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo; and the publishing activities of the Foundation. MedMagazyn, the magazine published since 2014, is a bimonthly about health. It is distributed among the Group's employees and Medicover patients. MedMagazyn is also available at Inmedio press salons.

In 2015, the Medicover Foundation completed 35 projects which involved more than 500 volunteers, and the number of beneficiaries exceeded 15,000.

The International CSR Excellence Awards is an international competition for socially responsible companies and institutions, organized since 2013. Among the winners there were companies such as Carlsberg, Royal Mail, and CISCO Systems.
