Corporate Social Responsibility
The CSR award recognises the active involvement of a commercial company and its team directly with charitable, voluntary or community projects in its locality, or through its partnership with a local charitable, voluntary or community organisation that has had a positive impact on the local community over the last year(s).
McKesson, a global leader in healthcare and a Fortune 7 company, sees corporate social responsibility as a way to provide better health for the planet and for people everywhere by using their economic, environmental, social, and governance resources thoughtfully and responsibly. Since establishing its Cork base in 2001, employee-led community initiatives have raised over €425,000 for charities including Enable Ireland, HOPE Foundation, Breast Cancer Ireland, and Focus Ireland.
Our team (pictured below) presented the submission, but up against the tough competition of Gas Network Ireland and McAfee, this announcement was sure to be a very close call. McAfee was announced the winner of this category.
Best Workplace
The Best WorkPlace award recognises a company that embraces a holistic approach to learning and development; with encouragement, opportunity and support for people to grow in skills, confidence and resilience in the workplace.
McKesson, a global leader in healthcare and a Fortune 7 company, has ensured a company culture that is centred around employee health and well-being and can be seen not only in the way we work and play, but also in the way our benefits are designed. During our growth, our leadership teams have been at the forefront of driving a culture that respects, supports, and acknowledges the many ways we are different from one another.
Our team (pictured below) presented the submission, but up against the tough competition of Poppulo and VMware, this announcement was also sure to be a very close call. VMware was announced the winner of this category.
