Northern Trust Charity Trading Day 2023

  

Each year Northern Trust holds its global volunteer initiative in October called Achieving Greater Together. While we volunteer all year long, it’s an opportunity for all our employees to come together and support the communities where we live and work. As part of that, Northern Trust held its second Charity Trading Day on October 12 to benefit four global non-profit organizations aligned with our philanthropic strategy.

Last year’s inaugural Charity Trading Day benefitted global housing non-profit Habitat for Humanity International and this year, we raised US$700,000 for four very worthy causes. But our commitment goes well beyond making a financial contribution. Employees and our clients are also coming together and volunteering with us through 2023 and into next year in further support of the charities.
