Bupa's role in the community
Bupa aims to meet, and where possible, exceed the British Business in the Community benchmark of contributing at least one per cent of pre-tax profits to charity.

To contribute more actively to medical advances, the group established the Bupa Foundation in 1979. This independent charity funds medical research to prevent, relieve and cure sickness and ill health.
