With a global workforce spanning across 160 countries, members of #TeamBIC are committed to making an impact in their local communities. 🌎 At BIC we believe that everyone should have access to quality #education, which is why we strive to nurture all forms of #creativity in children from different backgrounds and experiences. Recently, members of our #HumanResources team from Brazil and Argentina partnered with the #BICCorporateFoundation to provide children from an indigenous tribe with writing instruments and notebooks on the outskirts of Manaus, deep in the Amazon rainforest. 🤝 "Traveling to meet these children outside of the city of Manaus was a truly special experience for all of us. Seeing them using BIC products warmed my heart and reminded me of how we can impact those around us - reinforcing the power of community and togetherness," shares Tamires Meireles, HR Manager, Talent Acquisition, Supply Chain Brazil.

The latest #BICCreators video features Amsterdam-based artist Elke Kunneman, whose artistic journey has taken an inspiring turn. Originally trained as a graphic designer, Elke then discovered a strong passion for handwork, which has since become the focus of her creative expression. This transition has allowed her to explore new dimensions in her art, where she brings her unique vision to life with her go-to tools—BIC pens and markers. Elke's art is driven by her fascination with light, contrasts, and the concept of time. Through her intricate use of BIC pens, she expertly layers textures to create depth and meaning in her work. For Elke, BIC pens are more than just tools—they are a gateway to #creativity. "What I like about working with ballpoint pens is that everyone has an association with them," she says. "Their simplicity of use allows me to start creating right away." Elke's contribution to the BIC Creators series not only highlights her incredible talent but also reinforces the idea that great #art can emerge from simple, everyday objects. The BIC Creators series continues to celebrate the diverse perspectives and talents of artists worldwide, showing that creativity knows no limits when passion and simplicity combine!
