As an organisation, it’s important for us to make our contributions count for the benefit of our customers, stakeholders and the broader community. This is why, since 2005, we've measured our community investment in accordance with the Business for Societal Impact (B4SI) Framework (formerly known as London Benchmarking Group), a global standard for measuring and managing social impact.
We fund causes, projects and charities through a range of different community grants.
We enable staff, customers and shareholders to make regular donations to our community partners.
