Colleagues making an impact
We are passionate about creating a brighter future by addressing the unique needs and opportunities that shape the global communities where we operate. The cornerstone of our community impact approach is our network of Community Action Councils (CACs), led by dedicated colleagues who tailor our global ambitions to local impact by advancing Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programming, supporting nonprofit partners, advancing health equity and mobilizing volunteers through our annual global engagement programs.


In 2025, CACs across the globe planned and executed more than 700 volunteer events in local communities and at Thermo Fisher sites, including during our hallmark Get Involved month of service, which engaged colleagues across 37 countries. For STEM Education Month in November, volunteers reached more than 18,000 students by delivering interactive classroom sessions, hosting youth at our labs and sites and connecting learning to real-world scientific discovery. In addition to donating their time and expertise, our colleagues also support causes they care about through charitable giving Our Matching Gifts Program doubled the impact of eligible colleague contributions, extending the reach of their generosity to communities around the globe.
