1: What are Genzyme motivational for investing in green building practices and
what is your opinion (what do you think) of them? Be specific.
There are many motivations behind investing in green building by Genzyme's
company. The company’s main aim behind is the fulfillment of social responsibility
as a global science life company. The first aim was to provide free drugs to
individuals who were affiliated with the disease. Genzyme sold many drugs
worldwide and their first responsibility was to give back the community. Genzyme
donates dosages of Cerezyme were it once sold to 3000 patients and later helped 81
patients in developing countries where they give them the dosages for free specifically
to Egypt and China. They mostly help African countries which are developing and

small and the production of drugs is expensive.
Genzyme has also demonstrated its commitment to corporate citizenship by engaging

people in communities and offer vocational training. Their employees are further
advised to volunteer to offer their expertise in schools and seminars when need. In
demonstrating corporate citizenship they also offer grants to a non-profit organization
