The TANNER youth exchange scheme was launched in 1999 to mark the occasion of the company’s 150th anniversary. It offers employees’ children and grandchildren the opportunity to encounter new cultures by staying for between two and four weeks with the family of another employee in a foreign country. Terror warnings as well as the SARS epidemic in Asia thwarted several visits. Nevertheless, 67 (2002: 75) young people stayed with host families in 2003.
