Disaster relief

Gemalto has a disaster relief policy as part of our commitment to society. This sets out how the company responds to sudden natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, tsunamis and floods.

Our policy states that Gemalto will respond to disasters that occur in countries where we operate. We also support local employees who coordinate their own response to events and request support from the company.

We do this on a case-by-case basis by collecting funds, matching donations, and providing technical help and guidance. We only ever make donations to reputable not-for-profit, non-governmental organizations.
