The Ivoclar Group, a renowned family business, celebrates its 100-year anniversary by unveiling the international aid program “Ivoclar Joy.”
This initiative, in collaboration with the Ivoclar Vivadent Charity Foundation, signifies a significant commitment to global oral health and overall well-being. With a legacy of a century dedicated to enhancing oral health and the quality of life, Ivoclar embarks on a new journey to bring smiles through dental care to underserved regions across three continents.
Transforming Lives Through Dental Care
Launched under the stewardship of Christina Zeller, Supervisory Board Member responsible for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), the Ivoclar Joy program aspires to provide essential dental care to children and young people in underserved regions globally.
Already making an impact in places like Ghana, Cambodia, and Peru, the program has treated over 2000 patients by June 2023. The long-term vision is to engage Ivoclar employees worldwide in expanding these efforts to additional locations.
On-Location Dental Care and Community Education
To facilitate on-location dental care, Ivoclar Joy deploys three portable dental units equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. This approach empowers local dental professionals to provide preventive measures, minor restorative procedures, basic fillings, and surgical interventions, even in remote areas. The program goes beyond clinical care, emphasizing the importance of raising awareness about oral health in underserved communities. It aims to bolster the potential for a brighter future by delivering not just essential dental treatments but also education on oral health in schools.
Sustainable Action and Global Impact
Ivoclar Joy is firmly grounded in three pillars of responsibility: on-location dental care, enhancing the skills of local dental professionals, and delivering oral healthcare education. This commitment to sustainability is deeply embedded in the company’s 2022 CSR report, underscoring the interconnected system of these three pillars. Ivoclar Joy’s humanitarian projects and charitable commitment are detailed on the Ivoclar Joy website, offering insights into the program’s work in underserved regions.
As Ivoclar Group introduces this humanitarian initiative to mark its 100-year anniversary, it reaffirms its dedication to making a positive impact on global oral health and shaping a brighter future for the next generation. With the Ivoclar Joy program, Ivoclar Group’s century-long commitment to oral health extends its reach and brings smiles through dental care to those who need it most, underscoring its unwavering commitment to social responsibility and global well-being.
