SSL International, the parent company of Durex, is a
founding member of the GBC.

Formed in 2001, the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GBC) is a rapidly expanding alliance of over 220 international companies dedicated to combating the AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria epidemics through the business sector’s unique skills and expertise.

The GBC’s four main goals are to:

Increase the number and diversity of companies committed to fighting global epidemics
Increase business action against HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria, and improve the quality and reach of company and community programmes
Enhance and facilitate the use of companies' core competencies and products in the fight against HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria
Use business power to advocate for HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria issues and lead the response to the epidemic

SSL received a GBC commendation for its community program in Brazil in 2003 and for outstanding business action on HIV/AIDS through the work of the Durex Network in 2006.
