About Thalgo and Pride

Thalgo’s Corporate Social Responsibility

Thalgo SEA is committed to continuously promote and celebrate not just beauty but also
women’s health and total well-being. As part of their corporate social responsibility,
Thalgo will support PRIDE Foundation (Pink Ribbon Deeds) “Climb Mount Kinabalu
2010” initiative. PRIDE is a non-profit organisation that is committed to enhance
awareness effort and improve accessibility to treatment and care of breast cancer.
Through the Climb, Thalgo and PRIDE hope to empower breast cancer patients and
survivors, create awareness in society and promote a healthy lifestyle.

Climb with PRIDE

In June 2010 (rescheduled from January 2010), a group of participants including breast
cancer patients and survivors will climb Mount Kinabalu. Symbolically, scaling a
mountain is similar to the struggle of a patient fighting breast cancer. This programme
seeks to restore their confidence and self esteem while proving that there is life after
breast cancer! The Climb also emphasises the importance of support from family and
friends.
