In 2013, Teck and UNICEF partnered to save children’s lives in India. See how we are strengthening the healthcare system and scaling up the supply and the use of lifesaving zinc and ORS to treat diarrheal disease in some of the most underserved communities of Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Odisha.

Zinc Saves Lives Battery Recycling Campaign

Each year at WE Day Toronto, Teck launches its annual Zinc Saves Lives Battery Recycling Campaign. The 2017-2018 Campaign kicked off in Toronto on September 28, 2017. We encourage students across Canada to recycle used batteries to keep them out of landfills. For every AA battery recycled, Teck will donate the value of zinc recycled to WE in support of zinc and health programming in Kenya. Scroll down to log the batteries you have recycled and help us get life-saving zinc treatments to children in Kenya.
