A business should be part of the community - both receiving from and giving back to their customers and the communities they live in. Guardian Insurance is committed to the necessity of giving back, and in this spirit is supporting the Year of Science in 2009 project.

The Year of Science celebrates sciences from astronomy to zoology to help boost the level of public understanding of how science works. Each month during the year of celebration is focused on a specific theme that explains the process, methods and nature of the scientific method in different fields. In 2009, for example, monthly themes included "Sustainability and the Environment" and "Geosciences and the Planet Earth."

In the end, the Year of Science project hopes to inform people, and especially the young, as to why science matters and is important for improving our lives.

By supporting the Year of Science in 2009 project, Guardian Insurance hopes to improve the appreciation of the sciences and to encourage interest in scientific subjects among young people. By giving back to the community, everybody including Guardian Insurance benefits! For information on Guardian Life Insurance please visit guardianisurance.com.au.
