Global

Colorectal Cancer Awareness Activities across the World - “Dress in Blue”

In order to contribute to reducing the number of people who die from colorectal cancer, Olympus is carrying out colorectal cancer awareness activities globally throughout the Olympus Group during Colon Cancer Awareness Month in March of each year.
One of these activities is "Dress in Blue," an activity in which participants come to work wearing blue clothing, the colorectal cancer awareness symbol color, in conjunction with Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month every year. Photos of employees dressed in blue are posted on the internal and external social media to spread awareness of the importance of prevention and early detection information in and outside of the company. In addition, donations will be also made to NPOs working against colorectal cancer in each region based on the number of employees who take part in the photo shoot.
