Chubb establishes charitAble community engagement programme

Introduced under the fitting name of charitAble, the community engagement programme has been orchestrated to promote leadership development and environmental stewardship through employee volunteerism and contributions to worthy community organisations and schools.

In order to take part, employees are required to form a team of three or more members and select a non-profit organisation or school to work with on a volunteer project. All approved projects will receive a £500 grant from Chubb and employees afforded two paid days off per year to volunteer.

Chubb will give priority to volunteering requests that provide value in seven focus areas: science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, sustainable urbanisation, safety and security, hunger and food waste, disaster relief, diversity and inclusion and vibrant communities.

Carla Sousa, director of marketing communications at Chubb, informed Security Matters: “We wanted to launch a community engagement programme that all of our employees could be involved with, no matter what their role or particular skill sets. With charitAble, employees have the opportunity to play a vital role in their local communities, while at the same time developing invaluable team building and leadership experience.”

Sousa concluded: “We’re very excited to facilitate this opportunity for our employees and to see the difference they can make to their local communities.”
