For the third year in a row, Olympus employees in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have participated in the Lung Cancer Awareness Month staircase challenge. Step up, step down for a good cause: each stair earns a donation. A total of 54.138 stairs were climbed in FY2025, with the total donation sum used to support the Hamburg and Berlin Cancer Societies. These organizations accompany cancer patients and their families for treatments, promote cancer research in Hamburg and Berlin, and provide information on various topics such as cancer prevention and healthy nutrition.
