Since 12th February 2009 EPA has adopted a corporate relations policy, in which possible forms of collaboration between EPA and its corporate counterparts are detailed.
CORPORATE COLLABORATIONS POLICY
Such paediatric community, is regularly informed about EPA-UNEPSA activities by periodical mailings and the publication of the traditional EPA-UNEPSA Newsletters. The important feed-backs received by the community, are useful to EPA-UNEPSA to properly plan its further activities. EPA-UNEPSA has developed a corporate collaboration programme that allows companies to support our work, provided they share our mission and values, and comply with our ethical principles and “guidelines” for Relations with Industry.
Jointly we can understand diverse issues better, and develop targeted activities to effectively meet paediatricians’ needs for medical education, best practice guidelines, and interactive communication. By working and learning together and by proactively combining our strengths, we can develop beneficial projects and improve the European's child health.
EPA-UNEPSA is grateful for the support of sponsors to its programs in favour of children health and wellbeing and welcomes new candidates on a continuous basis.
