Posted on 12/05/2010 in Pharmacy Supplier News Beiersdorf has announced that it is to take part in a charitable project to promote education among socially disadvantaged children around the world.
The company's Nivea brand has allied with the global children's aid organisation Plan International to launch the partnership, with Beiersdorf set to provide financial grants, volunteer assistance and material donations.
