World AIDS Day takes place on December 1 each year. The day was first recognized in 1988 to raise awareness of the AIDS pandemic, show support for people living with HIV and remember those who died of AIDS-related causes.

A few years later, our company recognized that some of our largest operations were in areas where the grip of AIDS was growing rapidly.
