Community involvement is deeply rooted in the Northern Trust culture, affecting the way we do business globally. Since our founding in 1889, Northern Trust has actively advanced a culture of caring and a commitment to invest responsibly in the communities we serve worldwide. This philosophy continues today through progressive community investments; contributions to service and community organizations; partner volunteerism; gifts in-kind such as donations of meeting space, catering, supplies and other knowledge services; and directorship guidance to charitable and civic boards.
Our Corporate Social Responsibility strategy is integrated into our core business strategy. This means we collaborate with our clients and acknowledge our responsibility in supporting sustainable business relationships. We proudly advocate corporate citizenship, philanthropy and support for the diverse communities and environments in which we operate.
So what would the Olympics look like in non-sports form? Let’s assume the whole world was willing to gather for some other purpose, sending official delegations, national leaders, support staff and even fans to one city for two weeks. What if that gathering captured the same spirit of hope and enthusiasm that permeates the Olympic Games? Perhaps the focus could even be something as ambitious as solving climate change.
Throughout the year we actively engage in dialogue with our stakeholders – clients, partners, shareholders, communities, regulators, suppliers and peers. These stakeholder groups are determined based on our business strategy of serving corporations, institutions and affluent individuals worldwide. Each stakeholder group affects our reputation, policies and best practices.
“In the financial service sector, environmental sustainability take many forms. From best-in-class facilities management to innovative employee engagement activities we take this work seriously. In 2014, we are proud to report a more than 10% decrease in our overall emissions per full-time employee, based on base year 2011. The efforts of professionals around the globe working to eliminate and mitigate negative environmental impacts from our operations made this decrease possible.”
“Our diverse workforce is an important part of what enables our firm to be a best in class provider of products and services around the globe. Our senior leaders are engaged, which creates an environment of awareness, action and accountability. Our support of communities where our employees live and work is an important part of this strategy which we advance through our commitment to invest responsibly in communities.”
