Making a positive impact beyond the lab.
Together, we rise.
Improving people’s lives is at the heart of everything we do at Acuitas. Our driving purpose means taking actions that strengthens our people, our partners and our communities. Guided by our team, Acuitas supports programs and organizations making an impact.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
To identify opportunities to create impact, we follow these guidelines:
The Power of Science
We believe in the power of science to solve many of the world’s challenges and that scientific discovery creates a better future.
Real & Effective Impact
We are committed to impact over optics and participation over PR. Led by our Community Impact Committee, which is made up of Acuitas staff, our contributions focus on creating positive change in our communities.
Progressive Partnerships
Collaboration is at our core, and we work hand-in-hand with our community impact partners, NGOs and grassroots organizations to uplift and empower others, especially underserved communities.
Inclusive Innovation
We champion initiatives that promote inclusivity, diversity and dialogue, especially in science, technology, education, arts and mathematics (STEAM), because these fields are essential for innovation, scientific advancement and creating a better tomorrow.
Pushing Boundaries
We support those who take risks and seek to achieve outcomes that others might shy away from, including research into underfunded or marginalized diseases and supporting underserved communities.
We invest in areas that create a positive impact in people’s lives.
Environmental Resilience
The world is facing an unprecedented climate crisis. At Acuitas, we are committed to doing our part for a sustainable future through operational initiatives and external contributions.
Scientific Research
We’re dedicated to helping fill the gaps in scientific research and to contributing to historically underfunded areas of study that will help advance the world’s understanding of human health.
Educational Empowerment
Our partnerships with local educational institutions, organizations and groups are designed to increase STEAM awareness and education for new generations.
Cultural Inclusivity
We actively seek to increase our understanding of the world around us. We are committed to truth and reconciliation and to respecting and learning from the wisdom of Indigenous communities in Canada.
Local Communities
We support the well-being of British Columbia’s communities by working with local organizations that help to lift others up through education, physical and mental health, food security, diversity, scientific innovation and more.
Volunteerism
We fund many organizations doing great work and donate our time and effort to meaningful causes. Our company volunteer program provides Acuitas team members with two paid days each year to support and volunteer for charitable organizations of their choice.
Building stronger communities.
