Scotiabank Announces Global Strategy to Help Combat HIV/AIDS

Scotiabank today announced the introduction of a Global HIV/AIDS Strategy to unite and strengthen its programs and initiatives across more than 55 countries aimed at addressing this life-threatening disease. This new strategy is part of Scotiabank’s global community-based philanthropic program, Bright Future, and will bring together all of the Bank’s efforts under three pillars in the fight against HIV/ AIDS.

“Scotiabank has been a longstanding and active participant in global efforts to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and support people affected,” said Sylvia Chrominska, Group Head of Global Human Resources and Communications at Scotiabank. “The creation of this strategy and supporting pillars builds on the good work that has already been done across our global network. It also underscores Scotiabank’s commitment to the United Nations Global Compact and more specifically, the UN’s Millennium Development Goal 6 on combating HIV/AIDS.”
