In October 2023, Northern Trust employees performed nearly 53,000 hours of service for a total of more than 1,700 organizations in 20 countries, showing our deep commitment to giving back to the communities in which we live and work. Northern Trust employees are encouraged to use their time and talent to support charitable organizations year-round, but in October the company provides a wide variety of planned events for teams to work together, while also allowing employees to do charitable work of their own choosing. Staff from Northern Trust locations around the world participated in events like painting a shelter in India, beach clean-ups in Australia, caring for shelter dogs throughout the U.S. and delivering food to the elderly in the U.K. The company provides each employee two paid days to do this work, and further pledges donations of 50 meals to those in need for every hour employees volunteer through The Global FoodBanking Network, European Food Banks Federation and Feeding America. This year, thanks to the generosity of employees, Northern Trust has contributed more than 2.6 million meals.
