We believe giving back changes lives

It is based on a commitment to connect our business and our people to our communities in ways that make a meaningful and life-changing impact.

Because the countries we operate in are so diverse, the best way for us to make a difference is through local strategies driven by our business units and the passion and energy of our people. Rather than following a standardised global requirement, each business unit focuses on meeting the needs of their local communities. Overall our Giving Back activity falls into two principle areas: partnership with charities and using our skills.

Partnership with charities

Through the work and the efforts of our people, we support charities on a local, national and global scale.  Our people select the charities that mean the most to them and work on ways to donate money and assets such as computers, as well as creating opportunities to fundraise, volunteer and share skills.

Sharing our skills

We are passionate about the development of ourselves and others and we want to extend this beyond our business.  We do this by offering mentoring and coaching.  We also give opportunities for professional and social development to individuals who may not otherwise be able to access them.

We want to know that we are truly making a difference by giving back.  We encourage our businesses to share their programmes internally and we are working towards measuring the value of what we do.

We encourage our employees to participate in community activities beyond their job roles. With over 24,000 employees over 30 countries around the world, our giving back initiatives can add up and make a real difference to others.
