Hello and welcome to all new colleagues at Polyplus. Some 270 new employees have joined the Sartorius team at the sites in France, Belgium, the U.S., and China today, following the closing of the acquisition. Together, we will continue to work towards our vision: to make better health more accessible to people around the world.
Sartorius, through its French listed subgroup Sartorius Stedim Biotech, has successfully closed the acquisition of the French company Polyplus. The transaction was completed today, after receiving the required regulatory approvals. Polyplus is a leading provider of innovative technologies for cell and gene therapies. Transfection reagents developed and produced by Polyplus are key components in the manufacture of viral vectors. The company has been expanding its focus beyond this field through acquisitions in adjacent technologies like plasmid design, and protein and plasmid manufacturing, broadening its portfolio for gene therapies as well as gene-modified cell therapies.

A colorful ice cream treat: Members of the employee network LGBT+Friends Alliance gave out free ice cream on the Sartorius campus in Göttingen today, providing refreshment among their colleagues.

"Hopefully, we'll see some of them again at one of our Rainbow Lunches." Marie is one of the initiators of the LGBT+Friends Alliance.

Sartorius employees in France raise funds for children with cancer! About twenty employees from the Sartorius Aubagne site participated in the "Course des Flammes", a fundraising event supporting children with cancer. The teams competed in four different races, ranging from 6 to 15 kilometers, and raised about 4,000 euros for the cause. "The welcome, the committed volunteers, the atmosphere - everything was perfect! Well done to all our participants, who never gave up, represented the company and raised money for children in need," commented Cédric Rouveyrol, Center of Excellence Project Manager at Sartorius in France, who ran the 10-kilometer race.

In June, many of our people worldwide join the Pride Month celebrations, dedicating activities to commemorating the LGBTQIA+ pride. Today, let's explore the nucleus of the LGBT movement at our company: the LGBT+Friends Alliance. Inspired by the activities of her colleagues in the United States, Marie Brandt, who had come out in the office earlier, took the initiative to create an employee resource group. "Our ambition is to help others. Coming out will always be a big step, but we strive for LGBTQIA+ individuals to feel safe and accepted at work without the need to hide," Marie explains. Since its inception, the LGBT+Friends Alliance has grown into a global network. Learn more about Marie and the growth of this vibrant community on the Sartorius blog: https://srtrs.info/g4wco

On today's International Day for Biological Diversity, let's take a look at how the wetland biotope in Göttingen is thriving. In just ten months, the renaturation process of the former farmland has surpassed expert predictions. The flora has flourished, and ornithologists have recently spotted large numbers of partridges, ruffs, tree hawks, and whinchats from the vantage points. Even a Eurasian stone-curlew, an endangered bird species, has been seen resting on the site. Initiated and funded by Sartorius, the biotope project was executed in cooperation with the Heinz Sielmann Stiftung and the City of Göttingen. The 16-hectare former agricultural field was prepared to foster the growth of a floodplain forest with alders, willows and poplars as well as temporary shallow water pools and a pond were designed. Today, the viewing platforms have become a popular destination for both experts and nature lovers, who can watch from afar as nature reclaims its habitat.
