3 Executive Summary Purpose To help lay the foundations of lifelong healthy habits, Fresenius Medical Care has created an engaging superhero cartoon character, The Kidney Kid. The initiative is a comprehensive edutainment (education and entertainment) program that informs children and their carers about their kidneys and how to keep them healthy in a fun and interactive way. Approach A centralised CSR initiative has allowed Fresenius Medical Care to communicate a clear and consistent message about kidney health, while also considering the needs and cultural sensitivities of each country in the Asia Pacific region. In multiple events at and around World Kidney Day on 9th of March The Kidney Kid was launched across Asia Pacific. Main activities included: screening of The Kidney Kid animated video, interacting with children via an awareness presentation and digital kidney health quiz and distributing activity booklets as well as superhero masks and other campaign materials. Targeted Locations Schools, paediatric hospitals, shopping malls and orphanages were the main activity locations. Fresenius Medical Care THE RENAL COMPANY Page 3
