Working in partnership with community organizations and charities, we know that our people can provide valuable support through sharing time, expertise, skills and resources and at the same time build their own skills and awareness of social issues.
We are committed to using our specialized knowledge, information, technology and resources to develop robust programs to help individuals, families and communities reach their full potential. These programs will be based on our established policy of giving all staff one day away from the office each year to engage in programs.
Thomson and Reuters staff have developed many exciting programs to share skills - here are some outstanding examples from the last 12 months.
Matching Gifts
Both Thomson and Reuters have operated matching programs which contribute additional financial support to causes supported by staff who give their own time or voluntary donations. Thomson Reuters will maintain a Matching Gifts program.
Disaster Relief
When extraordinary tragedies occur, we recognize our responsibility to help those affected by them. Through programs of matching staff donations, corporate donations and support through Reuters Foundation, we will aim to provide rapid help to support relief efforts.
Reuters Foundation
Reuters Foundation celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2007. With the closing of the acquisition of Reuters, the scope of the Foundation will be broadened to reflect Thomson Reuters business scope and people.
