On 5 February 2026, Gnosis by Lesaffre reached a meaningful milestone with the successful completion of its first Community Social Responsibility initiative in Asia, held in Ubud, Bali.
More than an event, “Active Folate Supplementation for Maternal & Pregnancy Health” represented our belief that science only truly matters when it touches lives. Seeing expectant mothers gather with curiosity, hope, and trust reminded us why our work goes beyond innovation—it is about creating real impact for families and future generations.
Empowering Mothers Through Knowledge, Care, and Collaboration
With PT. Simex Pharmaceutical Indonesia, healthcare professionals, and local partners, the initiative welcomed 30 pregnant women into an open and supportive learning environment. Through education on maternal nutrition and the importance of fourth-generation active folate, participants were empowered with knowledge that supports healthier pregnancies and fetal development. The presence of medical expertise and community engagement reinforced the trust that science-backed nutrition can inspire when delivered with care and compassion.
A Shared Commitment to Healthier Generations
This initiative stands as a proud reflection of what we can achieve when purpose leads our actions. It highlights the strength of collaboration across teams, partners, and communities, and reaffirms Gnosis by Lesaffre’s commitment to advancing maternal health where it matters most. As we continue our journey in Asia and beyond, this first CSR project reminds us that even small steps—when driven by heart and science—can help shape a healthier future.
